The Shakespeare Initiative Spring 2013 Performance: Titus

LuciusReturning, finally victorious from a decade long war, Titus has lost many sons in battle. Clinging to his remaining family members, he has no idea that his worst nightmare is yet to be realized. Titus’ prisoner of war, Tamora Queen of the Goths, is bent to retaliate against the loss of her son at Titus’ hands. The two become tangled in a cruel cycle of revenge in which they lose more than either one could ever imagine. Titus Andronicus is believed by many to be William Shakespeare’s first tragedy. The Pulp Fiction of the Elizabethan Age, TITUS was created by a young Shakespeare as a crowd-pleasing shocker- full of murder, intrigue, betrayal, and vengeance.
