At times there just doesn’t feel like enough gore in the world, especially in theatre, something meaty to get the teeth into, something with anger and bite, and if it must be done then it deserves credit. Titus Andronicus is still after 400 years the one play that feeds off all the negativity and feelings of revenge that can be ravaged in humanity; take one life and you are a murderer, take them all and you become a god, as Stalin once wrote, it is just a matter of statistics.

Purplecoat Productions Will Bring Titus Andronicus To The Unity Theatre Stage.

 A Shakespearean tragedy of hatred, murder and cruelty. An embittered Roman General returns from war, having captured the Queen of the Goths and her three sons. Sacrificing the eldest, in memory of his own sons killed in battle, he provokes the Queen’s hatred but when she marries the new Emperor of Rome, she begins to plot her murderous revenge.

Purplecoat Productions bring one of Shakespeare’s and history’s most underrated tragedies, the excellent Titus Andronicus, to the Unity Theatre on February 5th and 6th.  The company have recently thrilled audiences at the Lantern Theatre on Blundell Street with their superb version of Little Voice and aim to hit the heights once more with this production.
