This shockingly timely thriller about the chaos of a corrupt and crumbling empire is brought to new life, taking the stage as one Shakespeare’s boldest and bloodiest tragedies.
A young William Shakespeare flexes his theatrical muscles as he unleashes an unstoppable cycle of revenge, in this his bloodiest of plays. Titus is Rome’s greatest general and the head of a noble family. But when his armies vanquish the Goths, their defeated queen Tamora and her lover Aaron the Moor release a fury that brings Titus, his family, and all of Rome to their knees. The play’s exploration of humanity’s capacity for inhumanity is brought to searing new life in a production directed by Jesse Berger and starring the incomparable Patrick Page as Titus, in this timely spine-chiller about the stand for justice and honor against the chaos of a corrupt and crumbling Empire. A Shakespearean thriller that deals with standing up for justice against the encroaching chaos at the fall of a corrupted Roman Empire might just be unfortunately timely.
