Description
Tragedy in its most raw form, Titus Andronicus is a story of unrelenting hatred and brutal revenge. A Roman general's return from war brings with it a tale of sacrifice and vengeance, as he seeks to avenge the loss of his own sons. The Queen of the Goths, driven by her desire for power and revenge, sets in motion a chain of events that will lead to unimaginable cruelty. This is Shakespeare's first tragedy, and one that explores the darkest depths of human nature. Edited by Sonia Massai and introduced by Jacques Berthoud, this edition provides a unique insight into the play's enduring themes and complex characters.
