Born With Teeth Tickets

Born With Teeth makes its West End premiere with a fierce theatrical bite, pairing two of Britain’s most electrifying actors in a combustible imagining of literary history. Ncuti Gatwa, fresh off his groundbreaking debut as Doctor Who and acclaimed for his turn in The Importance of Being Earnest, stars as the subversive and seductive Christopher Marlowe. Opposite him is Edward Bluemel, known for his scene-stealing roles in Killing Eve and My Lady Jane, playing a sharp-tongued, ambitious young Shakespeare. Written by award-winning playwright Liz Duffy Adams (Or, New Dramatists alum), the play unfolds over three secret encounters filled with verbal duels, simmering tension, and dangerous chemistry. Directed by Daniel Evans, Co-Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Olivier winner for Sunday in the Park with George, this two-hander strips away the pomp of period drama to deliver something raw, urgent, and unflinchingly modern. Keep an eye on the power shifts, the delicious ambiguity in every line, and the way two writers teeter between rivalry, romance, and ruin.
