BREAKDOWN

BORN WITH TEETH

SYNOPSIS: An aging authoritarian ruler, a violent police state and a restless, polarized people seething with paranoia: It’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them — the great Kit Marlowe and the up-and-comer William Shakespeare — meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime and flirt like young men with everything to lose. One of them may well be the death of the other.

Note on style: Iconoclastic, punk-edged; aggressive pacing.

Time & Place

Part 1: Winter 1591

Part 2: Summer 1592

Part 3: May 1593

A private back room in a London tavern. The main thing is a long wooden table that they write at, lie on, fight on; it’s their stage, their game board, their field of battle.

“Oh Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth! And so I was, which plainly signified that I should snarl and bite, play the dog.” — Henry VI, Part 3, Shakespeare & Marlowe
