#titus-andronicus

There is so much blood and gore in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus that, at some points, the audience cannot help but laugh. By the time his sons' severed heads are brought to him in plastic bags, even Titus himself begins to laugh. Why, he says, when confronted for his giggling, I have not another tear to shed. Titus Andronicus is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays, and it is one of his least subtle.
