About This Show

The murky relationship between great writers and their proclivity to “borrow” ideas and material is examined in this comedy tracing Shakespeare’s relationship with The Earl of Southampton, the Dark Lady of the Sonnets, and Christopher Marlowe during the turbulent months before Marlowe’s death.

Oskar Eustis, Diane Paulus and Robert Brustein on Sunday, October 5, 2008
