As part of its current season, Bozeman Actors Theatre continues to present stagings of American playwright Liz Duffy Adams’ Born with Teeth. Remaining performances will be held Friday through Sunday, March 1st–3rd and 8th–10th at the Eagles Ballroom. Show time is 7pm each night.
A young William Shakespeare and his contemporary Christopher (Kit) Marlowe meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play (which turns out to be Henry VI). Born with Teeth is set in a London pub in the 1590s London. Queen Elizabeth I is in the last years of her reign, and she has left no heir. Against the backdrop of religious and political peril, Shakespeare and Marlowe have to write a play that meets the approval of the increasingly authoritarian tyrannical ruler without crossing the line that would bring them imprisonment or death, and yet come close to some of the truths of their subject. This play gives an intimate look into the lives of two of the most famous writers in English history. Perhaps if Marlowe had not died an early death, Montana would celebrate “Marlowe in the Parks,” rather than “Shakespeare in the Parks.”
Marc Beaudin directs Born with Teeth, starring Kyrie Dawson as Christopher Marlowe and Sarah West as William Shakespeare.
Advance tickets for Born with Teeth are $25 for general admission or $15 for students. Find ticketing access at www.bozemanactorstheatre.org. Tickets available at the door as space allows.
