The new play imagines the relationship between two literary icons at odds with their time: 27-year-old Christopher Marlowe and rising star William Shakespeare.
Inspired by Schnitzler's La Ronde, DiPietro's play reimagines the tale of sexual power, discovery, and exploration in the context of today鈥檚 gay scene.
