Born with Teeth
An aging ruler, an oppressive police state, a restless polarized people seething with paranoia: it’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them—the great Kit Marlowe and the up-and-comer Will Shakespeare—meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose.
Born with Teeth premiered at the Alley Theatre, Houston, May–June 2022, directed by Rob Melrose. That production moved to the Guthrie Theater, March–April 2023, and will move again to Asolo Repertory Theater, Feb–March 2024, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival, March–September 2024. The play had its second production at Aurora Theater Company, Berkeley CA, in September 2023.
In 2019 it had a workshop at the Alley, and a reading at Aurora; it had a 2022 staged reading at Shakespeare & Company in the Berkshires. It was awarded a 2021 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award and won the Houston Theater Awards 2022 Best Play/Production, Best New Play, and Best Actors. It was named a finalist for the Steinberg-ATCA New Play Award.
