Born With Teeth in London
Starring:
Edward Bluemel, Ncuti Gatwa
It's 1591, and rivals William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe meet in the back room of a pub and form a creative union as they try to navigate the dangers and conspiracies of Elizabethan London. Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who, Sex Education) and Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve, My Lady Jane) star in Liz Duffy Adams 's wickedly witty and thrilling reimagining of the two playwrights' relationship in this brand-new play at Wyndham's Theatre, directed by Daniel Evans (American Buffalo, South Pacific).
Why You Should Watch Born With Teeth
- An incomparable cast - Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa and My Lady Jane's Edward Bluemel play Marlowe and Shakespeare, bringing sizzling chemistry and quick-witted banter to an iconic literary relationship that's equal parts combative and flirtatious.
- If you enjoy the works of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and other Elizabethan playwrights, you'll love this take on these two authors. And if you're less familiar with their works, you'll likely find yourself immersed in the dark and thrilling world of 16th-century London theater.
- American playwright Liz Duffy Adams brings a fresh and sensual touch to the story of these two literary legends. Born With Teeth, which premiered at Houston's Alley Theatre in 2022, won the 2021 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award.
What is Born With Teeth about?
William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe—two brilliant minds, giants of the London theater scene and literary rivals, inspiring and often thwarting each other. During three secret meetings in a London pub, they engage in a battle of wits and seduction, joining their creative forces against a backdrop of political games and espionage.
Born With Teeth is a brand-new original play by Liz Duffy that reimagines the much-debated relationship between Shakespeare and Marlowe (collaborators? rivals? or something more?) in this thrilling story, rich in wordplay and wit. In interviews, Ncuti Gatwa has described the play as “clever, dark, sexy, hard-hitting, and funny,” and Edward Bluemel has expressed his excitement at “stepping into the shoes of a young William Shakespeare.”
The play will make its West End premiere at Wyndham's Theatre on August 13 for a strictly limited 11-week run—so don't miss your chance to experience this original, darkly sexy story that showcases two literary icons in a way you've never seen them before.

Biting the hand that feedsOnly two people on stage? Yes, and yet they manage to fill it from start to finish in "Born with teeth" which gives a surprising new angle on the possible creative relationship between Elizabethan playwrights Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. You will have heard Shakespeare but Marlowe may be just a name. Yet, as the play begins, Marlowe is the big name with friends in high places, unafraid of biting the hand that feeds, and Shakespeare is the young hopeful who naively believes that he can earn a living simply by being a good writer as long as he doesn't upset his masters. Gradually, the play cleverly reveals that Shakepeare has a trick or two of his own. The actors are riveting and the way the power shifts from one to the other over 3 acts as time passes is unexpected to say the least. You don't need to be a literary expert to see this. If you're interested in the creative process and in freedom of speech, "Born with teeth" will certainly give you something to chew over.

A stimulating watch, with interesting historical undertones. Those teeth were certainly born on stage !The show was a spectacle of drama, with excellent acting and intrigue. Audience be ready to digest the homo -erotic nuance's, and fast paced dialogue. For me the show was a love affair portrayed in dangerous uncertain times.
