The Spanish Tragedy is a landmark Elizabethan revenge tragedy written by Thomas Kyd. First performed in the late 16th century, the play tells the story of Hieronimo, a court marshal whose quest for justice turns into a personal vendetta after the brutal murder of his son. Rich with themes of vengeance, madness, and political corruption, the play laid the foundation for later works in the genre, including Shakespeare’s Hamlet. With its intense emotional drama and intricate plot, The Spanish Tragedy remains a powerful example of early modern English theatre and its enduring influence.
