Synopsis

TITUS PUPPET VENGEANCE is a feature-length film based on William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus. It is played with table-top puppets on location sets. Titus Andronicus returns home from winning a hard-fought war with the Goths. Many of his own sons died in this battle and so Titus brings Tamora, the Goth Queen, Aaron and others as his prisoners. Tamora and Aaron take revenge on Titus and lure in his whole family with very violent plans. Titus and his remaining family seek retaliation for the horrifying acts that Tamora and Aaron have bestowed on Titus, his beloved daughter Lavinia, and his sons.
