The Marlowe Papers (a one-man play)

It’s 1593, and Kit Marlowe, the most successful playwright in Elizabethan England, is

stabbed through the eye at the age of 29. Except he isn’t. Because Marlowe is also a

secret agent. His secret service colleagues have faked his death because protecting the

Queen from Catholic assassination plots has led to his arrest for atheism, a capital crime.

Join Kit on his journey into exile and anonymity as he recounts the story of beer-drinking,

duels and spying that led to his losing lovers, friends and his very identity... and wrestles

with the unique torture of all his new work being credited to his front, one William Shakespeare.
