	BBC Shakespeare - Titus Andronicus In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors. Having subdued the Goths, conquering hero Titus Andronicus returns to Rome to bury his sons, with the Goth Queen Tamora and her retinue as captives. Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the gods and helps Saturninus become the new Roman emperor. But when Saturninus chooses Tamora as his wife, an unstoppable wave of bloody revenge is unleashed. Black humour and bloody revenge mark a production where 35 characters die - 10 in full view of the audience. Shakespeare's revenge tragedy is an intense, primal work with passages of great poetry. 'Ten thousand worse than ever yet I did would I perform if I might have my will. If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul.'     Availability: refer to store website Shipping: refer to store website	£10.99 at choicesdirect.com Not rated yet Info All items of this shop
	University Press of America Titus Andronicus: Modern Text (Contemporary Shakespeare S.) Shakespeare's most violent and gory play, <I>Titus Andronicus</I> was written in 1592, and represents the dramatist's first foray into the popular genre of revenge tragedy (many editors argue with at least one other collaborator). The result was spectacular, including scenes of murder, human sacrifice, rape, bodily mutilation and cannibalism. Set in late-imperial Rome, the action begins with the Roman general Titus Andronicus and his triumphant return from wars with the Goths. Leading Queen Tamora and her sons as prisoners, Titus stumbles into a power struggle between Saturninus and his brother Bassianus. Titus fatally backs Saturninus, who rapidly turns on the old general and marries Tamora. The implications for the Andronicus family are disastrous. More of Titus' sons are killed, his daughter Lavinia is brutally raped by Tamora's sons, and as Titus begins his descent into madness and despair he even has his own hand cut off in an act of awful trickery. As Titus plots his bloody revenge, he reflects that ­Rome is but a wilderness of tigers­. The ending is one of the most gruesome conclusions to any dramatic tragedy, and leaves Hannibal Lecter in <I>The Silence of the Lambs</I> looking quite restrained. Although the play has put audiences off for centuries due to its apparently gratuitous violence, more recently critics have discerned something more to it than pure shock, but that might say more about us than the Elizabethans. .--<I>Jerry Brotton</I>     Availability: In stock soon.
