The Roman general Titus Andronicus, upon the death of the Emperor and his return from his ten-year campaign, is recommended to the throne. Titus enters Rome to a great public reception, parading his captives, Tamora, the Queen of the Goths and her sons. Titus, for his own reasons, decides to have Tamora's eldest son Alarbus executed. Although she begs for the life of her son, Titus is unrelenting as his execution orders are carried out. Tamora vows revenge and so begins what is arguably Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy, an absorbing tale of the enduring and pervasive power of hatred and the cruel and vicious cycle of revenge.
