This updated edition of Titus Andronicus includes a section on recent stage, film and critical interpretations by Sue Hall-Smith. The text is based on the first quarto, supplemented by crucial additions and stage directions from the Folio. Appendices explore how the play might have been performed at the Rose playhouse in London, and how it could be adapted for a touring company of fourteen men and boys. An updated reading list completes the edition.
