{"product_id":"titus-andronicus-809478072393","title":"Titus Andronicus","description":"Titus has returned from a brutal 10-year war having lost 21 sons in battle. Betrayed by his nation, and with his family in pieces, a series of bloody events follows as he and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, begin a violent cycle of revenge. Rape, cannibalism, mutilation and murder are the gruesome tools in Shakespeare's bloodiest play. \"The title role could not currently be better cast. David Troughton is a fine deadpan comic yet one who always ensures there's a shadow lowering across the joke, and is also first-rate at the serious, even somber material. Blanche McIntyre's production appears at first to be simply modish in setting the play amid contemporary-flavored upheavals, but this pays off increasingly as she gets both humorous and serious mileage out of the conventions and nuances of public political rhetoric, with figures behind a lectern delivering pieces to camera.\" (The Financial Times) \"A sharp, confident and imaginative modern-dress reading. Bloody good.\" (Evening Standard) \"A terrific cast give a masterclass in power and paranoia in this tremendous modern-day revival of Shakespeare's tale of revenge.\" (The Guardian)","brand":"BBC \/ Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50447884025939,"sku":"2042401X","price":32.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3786467_60e5cf4c-b1eb-4880-a4e0-f0d227ccb13c.jpg?v=1790214679","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/titus-andronicus-809478072393","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
