About Born With Teeth
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, ‘Liz Duffy Adams’ firecracker of a new play’ (Financial Times) 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.
‘Daniel Evans’s steamy production fizzes with rare theatrical chemistry’ (Daily Mail) in an explosively entertaining duel between two literary icons at odds with the world they live in.
Until 1 November only at Wyndham’s Theatre.
