A tenderly tragic poetry about clash of civilizations, war and violence.
A play Titus Andronicus stands at the beginning of W. Shakespeare´s great work. It is actually his first tragedy (before that he wrote one comedy and one historical drama). It is not often staged ( in Slovakia it´s only the second adaptation ), while discussing the falling Roman Empire, its threat from barbarians, war and clash of civilization, the origin of evil, violence and cruelty in man it seems to be more than current.
