In the final days of his life, playwright Christopher Marlowe is wrapped into a revolutionary plot which brings him nose to nose with Queen Elizabeth I, haunted by the many sacrifices of a long and terrible reign. The play examines grief, regret, and the eternal push and pull between true artists and those who see their existence as a threat.
