Review: DOCTOR FAUSTUS at The Canon Shakespeare Company
by Krista Garver - May 7, 2026

You don't often get the chance to see DOCTOR FAUSTUS on stage. Christopher Marlowe's early 1600s masterwork is the ur-text of the Faustian bargain, the template for everything from the musical Damn Yankees to the Al Pacino-Keanu Reeves film The Devil's Advocate. And yet it rarely gets produced. Thankfully, Canon Shakespeare Company has brought this classic to stage in an evocative, well-acted production.

Photos: First look at Evolution Theatre Company’s THE SHAKESPEARE CONSPIRACY
by Jerri Shafer - Sep 4, 2025

Murder, mystery and manhunts in Elizabethan England in 1593. How could Christopher Marlowe, a known spy and England's foremost playwright, be suspiciously murdered and quickly buried in an unmarked grave just days before he was to be tried for treason? How could William Shakespeare, an unknown actor who 'held horses for the gentry while they watched the plays,' become England's star playwright virtually overnight? A comedy-thriller that intertwines the two mysteries. It's a wild ride through the gay London theatre world as the city fights the black plague, the hunt for Catholics, and the questions about Marlowe's murder. Quickly the crown becomes suspicious of Marlowe's mysterious murder and the similarities of his works with those of Shakespeare's. A manhunt begins with Marlowe being chased from city after city in Italy. The whole chase culminates in a final confrontation of excitement and murder. All the historical facts presented in the play are accurate.

Review Roundup: What Did The Critics Think of BORN WITH TEETH?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 3, 2025

Winter 1591. It is a dangerous time for artists: the country is full of conspiracy and paranoia. In the backroom of a pub, writing sensations Kit Marlowe and Will Shakespeare are forced together in a creative union. Alone, with the table as their stage and battlefield, they sharpen their pens – and let their genius fly. Across three secret meetings, the rivals duel and flirt like their lives depend on it – and with spies everywhere, betrayal is so tempting.
