The Tony Award-winning Alley Theatre is presenting Liz Duffy Adam's world premiere Born with Teeth. The play is directed by Artistic Director Rob Melrose and runs through June 5, 2022 in the Neuhaus Theatre. Developed in the Alley All New Reading Series, Born with Teeth now makes its world premiere this season.

Check out photos below!

An aging authoritarian ruler, a violent police state, 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 Will 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.
