Title page of the first quarto, 1594

Titus Andronicus (c. 15891592) is the first tragedy play by William Shakespeare. Most of its theme, structure and language comes from The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd. It is believed to be Shakespeare's first play, and also the bloodiest and least respected of his works.
