Titus Andronicus Off-Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More
Revenge is on the menu.
Titus is Rome’s greatest general and the head of a noble family. But when his armies vanquish the Goths, their defeated queen Tamora and her lover Aaron the Moor release a fury that brings Titus, his family, and all of Rome to their knees. The play’s exploration of humankind's capacity for inhumanity is shockingly contemporary, brought to searing new life in a production directed by Jesse Berger and starring the incomparable Patrick Page as Titus, one of Shakespeare’s most demanding tragic roles.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Titus Andronicus
Theater review: Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's nastiest tragedy
8 / 10
Berger’s judicious editing helps make Titus sympathetic by eliminating his early murder of his own son, which casts him as something of a murderous psycho from the start. And although Page is justly celebrated for playing villains—and recently devoted a one-man show, All the Devils Are Here, to Shakespearean ones—it’s his nonvillainy that is most compelling here; there is an underlying nobility, and a surprising tenderness, to his interpretation of the role, and especially in his treatment of Lavinia. Faridany likewise emphasizes Tamora’s maternal pain over her Jezebel-like machinations.
REVIEW | ‘Titus Andronicus’ is stylish, savage — and still a tough sell
5 / 10
Page’s adaptation keeps the action brisk, but it can’t fully tame the story. Even so, the constant escalation starts to feel less shocking than exhausting by the second half. Still, the staging remains consistently engaging. Berger makes smart use of the intimate theater, with actors appearing in the balcony and aisles to suggest a larger world.
