‘Blood and revenge are hammering in my head’

The war may be over, but the violence has just begun.

When victorious general Titus Andronicus executes his enemy’s son in a merciless show of vengeance, he has no idea of the evil his actions will incite. As the two sides trade violent acts of retribution, one man revels in the bloodbath.

Titus Andronicus transfers to Hampstead Theatre for a strictly limited London run, direct from a smash-hit run at the RSC's Swan Theatre. Max Webster, whose recent credits include Macbeth with David Tennant (West End) and The Importance of Being Earnest (National Theatre/West End), examines Shakespeare’s bloodiest play through the lens of 21st century aggression.

Starring Olivier, Tony and BAFTA Award winner Simon Russell Beale, who returns to Hampstead following The Invention of Love and Mr Foote's Other Leg.
