Breakdown:

Role Name Gender Ethnicity Age Range Description
Titus Andronicus Male Any Ethnicity 41-50 Roman general beloved by the people for his noble sacrifices over many years. His strict adherence to tradition leads him to make a series of unfortunate choices, spawning a cycle of revenge that makes up the action of the play. As the tragic protagonist of the play, Titus is both victim and perpetrator.
Marcus Andronicus Male Any Ethnicity 41-50 Titus’s brother and stalwart companion throughout the play. He is the voice of reason and stoicism amidst a whirlwind of violence and madness.
Lucius Male Any Ethnicity 25-30 Titus’s last surviving son. Over the course of the play he betrays his father, is exiled from Rome, raises a Goth army, and returns to pick up the pieces of a fractured nation.
Aaron Male African American Any Age A Moor (Elizabethan term for a person of north or west African descent), and Tamora’s lover. His evil machinations spur much of the action of the play, but his cruelty is tempered by flashes of humanity, such as the affection he shows for his newborn son.
Tamora Female Any Ethnicity Any Age Queen of the Goths, and then Queen of Rome after Saturninus weds her. She thus obtains the power to take revenge on Titus for executing her son Alarbus.
Lavinia Female Any Ethnicity Any Age Titus’ only daughter. She is betrothed to Bassianus, but is coveted by Saturninus, as well as by Chiron and Demetrius who will eventually rape and disfigure her, leaving her mute and without hands. Note: This role involves a scene of sexual assault. No nudity is required, and the actual rape does not take place onstage, but the actress should be prepared to tackle the intense subject matter. See contact info below for questions regarding the role.
Saturninus Male Any Ethnicity Any Age The eldest son of the late emperor who inherits the throne by receiving the endorsement of Rome’s beloved general, Titus. He is an impetuous ruler, quickly taking the queen of Rome’s enemies as his bride and allowing her free reign to terrorize the Andronici.
Bassanius Male Any Ethnicity Any Age The second son of the late emperor, and the ruler Rome should have had, if not for Titus’s endorsement of his brother, Saturninus. He sparks the wrath of both men by fleeing the palace with Lavinia, to whom he is betrothed.
Chiron and Demetrius Male Any Ethnicity Any Age The ruthless sons of Tamora, who mercilessly rape and mutilate Lavinia. Note: These roles involve a scene of sexual assault. No nudity is required, and the actual rape does not take place onstage, but the actors should be prepared to tackle the intense subject matter.
