AN encore (repeat) screening of Titus Andronicus captured live at the Royal Shakesperare Company, Stratford Upon Avon, will be screened at cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan tonight (Tuesday, September 5) at 7pm.
The decay of Rome reaches violent depths in Shakespeare’s most bloody play. Titus is a ruler exhausted by war and loss, who relinquishes power but leaves Rome in disorder.
Rape, cannibalism and severed body parts fill the moral void at the heart of this corrupt society.
Shakespeare’s gory revenge tragedy presents us with murder as entertainment, and, as the body count piles up, poses questions about the nature of sexuality, family, class and society.
Blanche McIntyre directs and tickets for RSC: Titus Andronicus are £12.50 (£11.50) and are available to book from Theatr Mwldan’s Box Office on 01239 621200, online or via smart phone at www.mwldan.co.uk
