First-look trailer of Born With Teeth
Liz Duffy Adams’ darkly comic two-hander imagines an electrifying fictional encounter between Shakespeare and Marlowe, set in 1591 in the back room of a London pub.
Reviews are out for the show from London’s theatre critics, with strong reviews from the Evening Standard, Financial Times, Express and more,
It is a dangerous time for artists: the country is full of conspiracy and paranoia. When writing sensations Kit Marlowe and Will Shakespeare are forced together in a creative union, with the table as their stage and battlefield, they sharpen their pens – and let their genius fly. Across three secret meetings, the rivals duel and flirt like their lives depend on it – and with spies everywhere, betrayal is so tempting.
