It has been announced that Max Webster’s production of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus will play at the Hampstead Theatre from the 5th September, playing until the 11th October. Member booking opens on 1 July, and on 4 July to the general public.

It has also been confirmed that Simon Russell Beale will reprise his role as the title character. The cast is also set to include:  Emma Fielding as Marcia Andronicus and Wendy Kweh as Tamora, with Danny Collins, Thomas Josling, Joel MacCormack, Jerone Marsh-Reid and Sharita Oomeer also appearing. Meanwhile, further casting has yet to be announced.

The war may be over, but the violence has just begun.

When victorious general Titus Andronicus executes his enemy’s son in a merciless show of vengeance, he has no idea of the evil his actions will incite. As the two sides trade violent acts of retribution, one man revels in the bloodbath.

As well as being directed by Webster, the production’s creative team also includes: Joanna Scotcher (set and costume), Lee Curan (lighting), Matthew Herbert (composer), Tingying Dong (sound), Jade Hackett (movement), Rachel Bown-Williams and Ruth Cooper-Brown (fight and intimacy), and Matthew Dewsbury (casting). Kwame Owusu is revival director.
