Theatre review Two titans simmer but never quite hit boiling point
The Guardian
|September 03, 2025
Forget William Shakespeare. This is Christopher Marlowe's moment. Starring Edward Bluemel (My Lady Jane, Killing Eve) as hardworking, wary Will and Ncuti Gatwa (The Importance of Being Earnest, Doctor Who) as randy, troublesome Kit, Liz Duffy Adams' new chamber play squirrels the literary titans away in a room in 1591 to play out an energetic, erotic version of some historians' suspicions that their lives were more intertwined than we think.
"It is a history play," Will chides, as Kit bends the truth in Henry VI Part I, which the two are writing together. "All the more reason to use our imaginations," Kit retorts. Enjoying the historical licence Kit grants her, Duffy Adams whips the competitors into a frenzy and releases them at each other's throats to flirt, threaten, fight – and, very occasionally, write.
