Titus Andronicus: Arkangel Shakespeare Details
The noble Titus returns victorious to Rome bringing Tamora, Queen of the Goths as his captive. When one of Tamora's sons is condemned to die, she vows revenge, and, aided by the villainous Aaron, she exacts a terrible retribution, inaugurating a grim cycle of rape, murder, and cannibalism. This macabre, often brilliant tragedy comes from the earliest stage of Shakespeare's dramatic career. Titus is played by David Troughton and Tamora by Harriet Walter. Paterson Joseph is Aaron, and David Burke is Marcus.
Reviews
Titus Andronicus is a book about a grizzled war vet who takes his daughter’s rapists, bakes them into a meat pie, and serves it to their mother. This drama is not for everyone. This was written in a time where the drama was new and did not have time to fully develop into a masterpiece. It isn’t bad, and it is quite interesting with its floral language at points, so if this intrigues you, I’d say go right ahead and read it. :)
