Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble presents TITUS

CORRUPT POLITICIANS. MANIPULATIVE GENERALS. SELF-SERVING LEADERS.

After a decade of war against the Goths, the Roman general, Titus Andronicus, returns home victorious but battle-weary. He brings with him Tamora, the fallen Goth queen, and her sons as prisoners. In an act of ritual sacrifice to the gods, Titus kills Tamora's eldest son, fuelling a bloody and unrelenting cycle of revenge between himself and Tamora. Violent acts are met with more violent deeds, blurring the line between victim and perpetrator.

Seen through the eyes of modern day Australia, Zoë Tuffin's production serves to remind us of our most primal human instincts. When we have a brutal act committed against us, as an individual or as a nation, our baser instincts are awakened and we demand justice. But justice can turn to revenge with alarming ease and blood be answered with blood.

Set in the natural surrounds of the Roma Street Parkland, with live music and movement inspired by the dance theatre form, butoh, Zoë Tuffin's TITUS audiences will come face to face with these characters as their primal selves are unleashed.

Ready yourself for Revenge...
