Born With Teeth

Overview

An aging ruler, an oppressive police state, a restless polarized people seething with paranoia: it’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them — the great Kit Marlowe and up-and-comer Will Shakespeare — meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose. One of them may well be the death of the other.

“Oh Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth! And so I was, which plainly signified that I should snarl and bite, play the dog.”
—Henry VI, Part 3, Shakespeare & Marlowe
