In Stratford's streets, a play's in store,
About two writers, Marlowe and Shakespeare galore.
Ncuti Gatwa takes on Marlowe's part with flair,
A new play's born, with secrets to share.
Born With Teeth, the title's quite a test,
Liz Duffy Adams wrote this irreverent quest.
Gatwa's excited, as he takes the stage,
With Edward Bluemel as Shakespeare, a rival to engage.
In 1591, a backroom pub's the scene,
Marlowe and Shakespeare meet, their rivalry's keen.
Spies lurk in the shadows, paranoia's high,
A time for artists to be cautious, or to deny.
Their collaboration's a challenge, a test of will,
As they duel with words, and their egos to fulfill.
Gatwa and Bluemel, a dynamic duo, you see,
Their chemistry's electric, a treat for you and me.
The play premiered in Houston, then traveled far and wide,
To Oregon, California, and Florida, it did reside.
Now it comes to London, the West End's its stage,
A 11-week run, at Wyndham's Theatre, where it will engage.
