TITUS ANDRONICUS (BBC) (1985)

Cast

Plot

Another of the BBC's excellent portrayal's of one of the Bard's works. Having subdued the Goths, warrior Titus Andronicus returns to Rome to bury his sons, with Gothic Queen Tamora and her retinue as captives. According to Roman custom, Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the Gods; having the deciding vote, he also chooses Saturninus as Emperor. Both acts have tragic consequences.
