Executive produced by L6L21. A co-production with The Marlowe Theatre.

The Marlowe Sessions: The Jew Of Malta

Playwright. Poet. Provocateur.

Much has been said about Christopher Marlowe.

He was a heretic and a hedonist. An icon of English theatre and a spy for Elizabeth I.

Born in Canterbury, dead at 29 – in a bar brawl, at the order of the Queen or a masterful fakery, depending on who you ask.

Now, for the first time in 400 years, Marlowe’s plays are presented in their entirety. Captured using state-of-the-art high-definition cameras and spatial audio, this is theatre on screen as you’ve never experienced it before.

Directed by Stephen Unwin, with a cast led by Adrian Schiller (The Last Kingdom, Doctor Who, Victoria).

Contains themes of antisemitism.
