In May 1593, playwright Christopher Marlowe — the brilliant author of Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine — was stabbed to death in Deptford at the age of twenty-nine. Officially, it was a fight over a tavern bill. Unofficially, whispers of espionage, heresy, and political assassination swirled around the case. In this episode, we uncover Marlowe’s rise to fame, his shadowy connections, and the enduring mystery of his murder.
