For their final show of their incredibly successful 2016 season, Seven Siblings Theatre is pleased to present Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s most violent and bloody play. Not seen in Toronto since CanStage’s 2014 production in High Park, Titus Andronicus is a story of revenge, betrayal, murder, lust, duty and honour.
Titus Andronicus returns to Rome after decades of long battle with the Goths. In his pursuit of victory, he has made a dangerous alliance with supernatural beings, digging down into the underworld, pressing against the bizarre and terrifying. Presenting Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, as his war prize to Rome’s emperor, Saturninus, Titus sets off plots of revenge and murder, as each party seeks vengeance for the wrongs done to them.
For this production, Seven Siblings has once again challenged themselves in staging and concept. Five of the characters are full sized puppets, some brought to life by several actors. This production is high in fantasy, emphasizing the horror and supernatural elements.
Praise for Seven Siblings:
“Toronto would be a much poorer place if it did not have adventurous small companies like Seven Siblings willing to stage a play like Mercury Fur, and stage it so well”-Stage Door
Titus Andronicus will be a one of a kind experience surely not to be missed.
