Titus Andronicus

William Shakespeare

Director Max Webster examines Shakespeare’s bloodiest play through the lens of 21st century aggression.

Unfortunately, due to ill health, Simon Russell Beale has had to step back from the RSC / Hampstead Theatre production of Titus Andronicus to give him time to recover.

The role of Titus Andronicus will now be played by John Hodgkinson, with performances commencing on 15 September. Simon Russell Beale wishes John and the company all the very best for the run.

‘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.
