The Bancroft Players presentShakespeare’s bloodiest revenge play…
Savage. Stylised. Shockingly relevant.
Shakespeare’s most brutal tragedy is reimagined for contemporary Britain, where loyalty is currency and revenge is inevitable.
Titus, the feared leader of a powerful crime family, returns from a brutal gang war with his rival Tamora and her children in captivity. One ruthless act sparks a blood-feud that spirals into violence, betrayal and unimaginable retribution, dragging both families into a nightmare of revenge.
Set in a world of leather jackets instead of togas and sawn-off shotguns replacing swords, this production draws inspiration from modern crime dramas such as Gangs of London. Bold, flexible casting reimagines gang leaders, enforcers and rivals across gender, with Titus and Tamora as equally formidable figures surrounded by volatile teenage children.
Dark, fast-paced and unflinching, Titus Andronicus asks a chilling question: when revenge becomes justice, who is left unbroken?
