Titus Andronicus
In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors. Having subdued the Goths, conquering hero Titus Andronicus returns to Rome to bury his sons, with the Goth Queen Tamora and her retinue as captives. Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the gods and helps Saturninus become the new Roman emperor. But when Saturninus chooses Tamora as his wife, an unstoppable wave of bloody revenge is unleashed. Black humour and bloody revenge mark a production where 35 characters die - 10 in full view of the audience.
