RSC’s Titus Andronicus with Simon Russell Beale to transfer to London

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Titus Andronicus will transfer to Hampstead Theatre for a limited run this autumn.

Directed by Max Webster, the production will once more feature Simon Russell Beale returning in the title role. It opens on 5 September and runs until 11 October.

Following its run at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon (where it picked up a solid four-star review from WhatsOnStage), the production will be presented as part of Hampstead Theatre’s autumn season.

The cast includes Emma Fielding as Marcia Andronicus and Wendy Kweh as Tamora, with Danny Collins, Thomas Josling, Joel MacCormack, Jerone Marsh-Reid and Sharita Oomeer also appearing. Further casting is to be announced.

The production is directed by Webster, while the creative team features Joanna Scotcher (set and costume), Lee Curan (lighting), Matthew Herbert (composer), Tingying Dong (sound), Jade Hackett (movement), Rachel Bown-Williams and Ruth Cooper-Brown (fight and intimacy), and Matthew Dewsbury (casting). Kwame Owusu is revival director.

Member booking opens on 1 July, and on 4 July to the general public.
