- Summary: Born With Teeth at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, written by Liz Duffy Adams and directed by Daniel Evans (Co-artistic Director at the RSC), with Ncuti Gatwa as Kit Marlowe and Edward Bluemel as William Shakespeare. "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. Marking its West End premiere this summer, Liz Duffy Adams' Born With Teeth is a thrilling imagining of the relationship between two literary icons at odds with their time. RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans directs Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who, Sex Education) and Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve, My Lady Jane) as the poets who square off in a game of wits, words, and powerplay."
