Born with Teeth
[Sarasota, FL] “Born with Teeth” is a captivating play written by Liz Duffy Adams. It brings to life a thought-provoking narrative, filled with poignant moments and powerful storytelling.
The play is as fierce as it is tender and explores the complexities of human existence and relationships. Set against a backdrop of raw emotion and personal growth, “Born with Teeth” delves into themes of identity, family dynamics, and the courage it takes to confront one’s past.
It tells of an aging ruler, an oppressive police state, and a restless, polarized people seething with paranoia. It is a dangerous time for poets.
Two of them — the great Christopher Marlowe and the up-and-comer William Shakespeare — meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle. Together, they navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose.
One of them may well be the death of the other.
Fresh off critically acclaimed world premiere runs at the Alley Theatre and Guthrie Theatre, “Born with Teeth” will plunge you into the palace intrigue, high stakes spy craft, and cutthroat betrayals of a ruthlessly ambitious age that is surprisingly like our own.
Asolo Repertory Theatre presents “Born with Teeth,” Feb. 9 – Mar. 29, 2024.
