Death By Shakespeare: A Journey Through the World of Shakespeare

Not Rome again?!

William and his friends arrive back in Rome.  They see a group of men, who look awfully beat up and bloody carrying a cart, that looks like it has BODIES on it!  They have just arrived in this city, and there are already dead people!?  They learn from a towns-person that these men are returning from battle and the great Titus Andronicus is bringing his sons home that died in the battle to bury them in his families tomb.

​William, John and Henry join in for the funeral rights, what a lovely service.  Afterwards, they meet Titus and his beautiful daughter Lavinia and her fiancé. What a lovely couple.  Just following the ceremony, the prisoners that were captured during the battle are brought in.  It seems that Titus has captured a great queen, Tamora and her two sons!  They don't look so nice...

​Suddenly, there appears someone who looks like senator or king, The men learn that his name is Saturnitus.  He is definitely not a friend of Titus'.  He decides that this Tamora needs to be freed because there could be an alliance between their kingdoms. 

​Titus is not amused and leaves with his family to his home. He asks William and his friends to join him.

Do they go?

No, this seems like it's going to get out of control...

Titus seems nice enough, sure!
