by William Shakespeare
with Michael Aldridge, Alan Webb, Barbara Jefford, Julian Glover, John Rowe

A full-blooded revenge tragedy. The Andronici family become involved in a feud with the Roman Emperor Saturninus and his wife Tamora and her sons. Murder follows murder until a degree of order is restored with the deaths of all the main characters. The mounting feast of horrors is heightened by some superb verse.
