Why see Born With Teeth?
Born With Teeth At Wyndham's Theatre
An electrifying play from Liz Duffy Adams, Born With Teeth captures an imagined meeting between two of the greatest playwrights of all time; celebrated talent of the age, Kit Marlowe, and new-in-town country bumpkin, one William Shakespeare. As all the horrors of the Elizabethan age spin chaos on the streets, this back-room face-to-face paints a provocative and intimate portrait of their relationship, with dramatic results.
The Royal Shakespeare Company joins forces with Playful Productions and Elizabeth Williams to bring this seductive drama to life. Ncuti Gatwa takes on the fiery role of Marlowe opposite Edward Bluemel as a young Shakespeare. The production is directed by Daniel Evans, making his West End debut for the RSC.
