I am a huge fan of Liz Duffy Adams, and this script is so deserving of all of the attention it is getting right now. Even reading it on the page the scenes feel electric. Both Shakespeare and Marlowe seem like such fun characters to play. The twists and turns of this script are dynamite! I hope to see it staged soon.

"Born With Teeth" is a gripping and thought-provoking play that examines the possible working relationship between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlow. It is a testament to Adams’ ability to blend historical fact with compelling fiction, creating a narrative that is both educational and highly entertaining.

Born with Teeth speculates on the competitive and possibly collaborative relationship between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlow. They are ambitious playwrights trying to negotiate the dangerous, autocratic times of Elizabethan England. How they worked and survived is fascinating to imagine with this play presenting them full of life and intrigue. The ending floored me.
