“Born with Teeth” – Shakespeare and Marlowe
I saw this play Saturday night at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley.
It.Is. AMAZING.
“Will Shakespeare is an upstart crow looking to make his name. Kit Marlowe is the greatest poet of the age and knows it. He’s also a spy for the English crown. In the back room of a tavern, against the backdrop of a polarized and paranoid England where even the slightest misstep can lead to a death sentence, the two writers embark on a risky collaboration. Artistic partnership becomes a dangerous dance of inspiration, artistry, seduction, and possible betrayal. Experience the thrill of creative expression and the precariousness of living in a society where every move is scrutinized.”
And, lucky you—you can watch it streaming! You do not have to go to Berkeley. (Although, if you can, I highly encourage you to go in person—the Aurora is a delightful experience in person).
The stream is pre-recorded, so you can watch it any time in the 36 hour period you book for.
It’s playing through October 1.
WATCH THIS PLAY. You will be glad you did.
