The Elizabethan precursor to a slasher pic, Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedy Titus Andronicus gets a new adaptation in Dundee by Philip Howard.

It’s set in a restaurant, where the eponymous protagonist has returned to Rome from battle — limping, exhausted but victorious.

His soldiers swap their army uniforms for those of the kitchen and the work begins to re-open for business.

The restaurant is run with regimental precision but the politics back home haven’t gone away because Titus has brought back a trophy of war, Tamora, the enemy leader.

Sounds like a cross between Celebrity Masterchef and Sweeney Todd and, if that concept floats your boat, this could be a tasty bit of theatre.
