Titus Andronicus, Rome’s servant and soldier for forty years, returns
home to bury his sons and retire in peace. But his complicity in an
act of ritual sacrifice begins a horrifying series of events where
justice is only a memory, forcing him to avenging the atrocities
visited upon his family.

wrenching tragedy, this new production takes a trip to the Botanic
Gardens’ savage side.
