Born With Teeth at @wyndhams_theatre…
Last night, Elliot, Darce, Stuart, and I ventured back to 1590 to watch Kit Marlowe and Will Shakespeare spar in a room together.
The vibes: kiss kiss, stab stab.
The set: literally just a table and chairs.
The lighting: blinding.
Edward Bluemel @edwardbluemel is a charming Shakespeare who finally learns how to sit up straight. Ncuti Gatwa @ncutigatwa is a chaotic rock star Marlowe who makes you want to write a sonnet and then set fire to it. This glitzy West End spot in the heart of London plays host to a show that nibbles at greatness but often forgets to chew.
The play tries to bite but sometimes just gums you. Luckily acting is sharper than script.
Worth it for the performances alone, though the play itself could be shorter and lose nothing.
