The bloodiest and brashest of Shakespeare’s plays, this revenge tragedy begins with war and ends in mutilation and cannibalism.

Acts of war and sexual violence across borders and within families highlight the importance of empire, Blackness and gender, alongside the familial and literal blood which characterise early modern and contemporary performance.

The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series Titus Andronicus provides:

  • A critical introduction to the textual, cultural and performance history
  • An edition that is rooted in a Jacobean revival performance of the play
  • Detailed on-the-page notes explaining language, character and performance
