Born With Teeth

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.

Incredible storytelling with two brilliant actors. What a duo! It was funny, camp and sexy!

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.

Ncuti Gatwa - my favourite!!
I went because I love Ncuti Gatwa and he didn’t disappoint. Edward Bluemel was also exceptional, but Ncuti is amazing.
