Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel star in Born With Teeth.

Christopher Marlowe (played by Ncuti Gatwa) is the rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and a scandalous spy for the Crown, embodying both danger and seduction.

William Shakespeare (played by Edward Bluemel) is a working actor and promising young playwright, dazzled by Marlowe and harbouring ambitions of his own.

Inspired by the possibility that these two literary icons may have collaborated on the Henry VI history plays, Liz Duffy Adams’ “Born With Teeth” offers a playful and daring exploration of their relationship during a perilous time for artists.
