BWW Review: TIMON OF ATHENS, RSC Swan Theatre
by Gary Naylor - Dec 14, 2018

BWW Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Barbican Theatre
by Rona Kelly - Dec 15, 2017
It was September of this year that I first saw this particular Titus Andronicus, at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Back then, I was struck by how timely a production this seemed: corruption of power, toxic masculinity and the silencing of women all at the forefront under Blanche McIntyre's direction.

Today, it proves an even more powerful and potent production, on both the Barbican and global stage.
