Detailed explanation-1: -Titus Andronicus, an early, experimental tragedy by William Shakespeare, written sometime in 1589–92 and published in a quarto edition from an incomplete draft in 1594.
Detailed explanation-2: -Titus was the first play by Shakespeare to be published. One of Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays, Titus Andronicus racks up a body count quickly and, perhaps not-so-coincidentally, achieved a popularity to match.
Detailed explanation-3: -Titus Andronicus is the earliest tragedy and the earliest Roman play attributed to Shakespeare. Its tragic hero Titus acts in many ways as the model Roman, even though he makes a series of tragic errors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Our productions of Titus Andronicus over the years have included some famous actors playing the title role: Laurence Olivier in 1955; Colin Blakely in 1972; Patrick Stewart in 1981; Brian Cox in 1987; and David Bradley in 2003.
Detailed explanation-5: -Titus Andronicus was first listed anonymously on the Stationer’s Register on 6 February 1594 with a note that it had been acted by three companies. It was probably written between 1590-1593. Francis Meres lists it in Palladis Tamia; Wits Treasury, as one of Shakespeare’s tragedies in 1598.
