Titus Andronicus is known to be one of William Shakespeare's most famous and unique productions he has ever written.
Overview of the play:
http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/titus-andronicus/synopsis.aspx
I have got this synopsis from the website^
The brothers Saturninus and Bassianus are in contention for the Roman emperor ship.
Titus Andronicus, Rome's most honored general, returns from wars against the Goths with their queen, Tamora, her sons and her lover, Aaron the Moor, as captives. Her eldest son is sacrificed by Titus; she vows revenge. Revenge is the biggest part of the play and explains a lot about the play and why certain things have happened.The revenge happened well and they made a good effort to do the revenge.
Revenge
Manipulated by Aaron, Tamora's sons, Chiron and Demetrius, avenge their mother by raping and mutilating Lavinia, and killing Bassianus. Aaron falsely implicates two of Titus's sons in this murder.
In his turn Titus vows revenge and sends his surviving son Lucius to the Goths to raise an army. Titus achieves his revenge by killing Tamora's sons and serving them up to her at a banquet, and then killing her.
He himself is killed by Saturninus and his death avenged by Lucius, who is made emperor.
Some of the characteristics of this play:
It's a very violent and dark play this is because their is a lot of killings. (14 in total) - during the play 14 get killed. 21 sons get killed before the play has even started. This shows that its a very gruesome play and has a lot of violence showing in this. There is a lot of killings in this because of simple things such as: Revenge. This is a main subject in Titus Andronicus and has a lot of detail the of the play and has a great storyline. The killings show that they are creative and disturbing for the viewers but good ways that they have used. It is set in the 16th century in Rome. All the deaths have happened because of revenge and conflict against other people in the play. Titus wants revenge of the queen of the goths because 21 of his sons died in the war. So he kills her 2 sons and then bakes them in a pie and feeds them to her.
