A period piece that looks at the life and times of Kit Marlowe, sky, lover, writer, who lived large and died tragically. Part Elizabethan and part Black Adder, The Dead Reckoning has fun with the myth of Marlowe and paints an unflattering and hilarious portrait of his greatest writing competitor and companion, William Shakespeare. Nominated for a Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Original Script, this play is a colourful romp through the royal court of Queen Elizabeth I and the writers who vied for her attention.
