Product pre-orders

By placing a pre-order with the National Theatre Bookshop, you'll be one of the first to receive a copy of an upcoming release. We only ship product pre-orders once they have arrived with us in store. This does mean there will be a short wait between placing your pre-ordering and receiving your item. Please check the product description for an expected publication date as this varies between products. You will be updated via email once your order has shipped. Thank you for supporting our shop.

All good things are worth the wait!

Details

The bloodiest and brashest of Shakespeare's plays, this revenge tragedy begins with war and ends in mutilation and cannibalism.

Acts of war and sexual violence across borders and within families highlight the importance of empire, Blackness and gender, alongside the familial and literal blood which characterise early modern and contemporary performance.

The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series Titus Andronicus provides:
- A critical introduction to the textual, cultural and performance history
- An edition that is rooted in a Jacobean revival performance of the play
- Detailed on-the-page notes explaining language, character and performance
- A clear page layout with an easy-to-read font and single-column notes
- Images of relevant productions, paintings and texts
