Born with Teeth
“Oh Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!”
— Henry VI, Part 3
Christopher Marlowe: rock star of Elizabethan theatre, scandalous spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined.
William Shakespeare: jobbing actor, promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, with ambitions of his own.
Based on the idea these two literary icons may have collaborated on the Henry VI history plays, Liz Duffy Adams’ Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of their relationship during an extraordinarily dangerous time for artists.
RSC Co-Artistic Director and two-time Olivier Award winner Daniel Evans directs Ncuti Gatwa (BBC’s Doctor Who, Sex Education) as Kit Marlowe and Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve, My Lady Jane) as Will Shakespeare in this explosively entertaining duel of wits, words, and power play.
Born With Teeth makes its West End premiere playing 11 weeks only at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre with exclusively priced preview performances from 13 August.
