'The Spanish Tragedy' by the English playwright Thomas Kyd (possibly a few years prior to 1590) was the only/main basis for his reputation and in it, he adapted (Roman) Senecan tragedy for the Elizabethan stage, creating the first, and setting a fashion for, so-called 'revenge tragedies', among which were numbered Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
The Elizabethans loved tragedy, especially a play called The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd. This play and others like it were performed in people's homes, halls in royal palaces, innyards, halls belonging to schools and universities and, after 1576, at public Theatres such as the Theatre Playhouse, the Curtain Playhouse, and Newington Butts Playhouse.
