Born With Teeth

Wyndhams Theatre, London, WC2H 0DA
  • Ncuti Gatwa is ‘a charismatic force of nature’ (Evening Standard) as Kit Marlowe - rock star of Elizabethan theatre and scandalous spy for the Crown.

    Edward Bluemel delivers ‘a performance full of grace and charm’ (WhatsOnStage) as Will Shakespeare - jobbing actor and promising young playwright.

    In a dangerous game of cat and mouse, this ‘sizzling new play’ (Guardian) by Liz Duffy Adams imagines these two writing sensations as they are forced into a creative collaboration.

    Across three secret meetings in the backroom of a pub, with the table as their stage and battlefield, they sharpen their pens – and let their genius fly.

    RSC Co-Artistic Director and two-time Olivier Award winner Daniel Evans ‘directs with considerable force and zero period fluff’ (Time Out) this explosively entertaining duel between two literary icons at odds with the world they live in.

    ☆☆☆☆ "Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel are a perfect pair in this sexually charged sparring match. Daniel Evans’s dynamic RSC production is a seriously steamy cat-and-mouse game. Gatwa is a charismatic force of nature as Marlowe"- Evening Standard

    ☆☆☆☆ "90 steamy minutes of action about the two most venerated playwrights in England who both want to have the last word on their way to immortality. Thrilling entertainment" - Broadway World
