Fishburn is wonderfully somber and patriarchal as Titus, with a face as pensive and tortured as Mel Gibson’s in the 1991 film adaptation of Hamlet. Simon J.

Quickly following this incident, Titus cuts down one of his few remaining sons, in a perhaps extreme display of patriarchal authority. And so we proceed, until the play’s infamously bizarre ending.
