A relentless descent into familial devastation and revenge, where graphic violence and Shakespearean language collide to explore the annihilation of a man's world.

Titus Andronicus returns from the wars and sees his sons and daughters taken from him, one by one. Shakespeare's goriest and earliest tragedy.
