Man and woman on stage, woman had dried blood around mouth

Titus Andronicus

William Shakespeare

Titus Andronicus believed to be written between 1588 and 1593 is one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays. It’s the story of a Roman general’s violent vicious circle of revenge and counter-revenge with Tamora, the queen of the goths.
