The Shakespeare Theatre Company presents:
Tamburlaine
Tamburlaine Tickets and Information
Synopsis
Christopher Marlowe's first play, Tamburlaine chronicles its hero's meteoric rise from humble origins to fearsome warrior and emperor of thousands. Tamburlaine desolates his adversaries, growing so ruthless that he marches on his beloved's native country. With ravishing poetry, Marlowe ruminates on the corrupting influence of ambition and one man's overwhelming desire for immortality. The play exemplifies Marlowe's extravagant style, immense sense of pageantry and bold characters.
Michael Kahn directs, calling up "the combination of stylization and raw force that has brought his productions of classics to towering life" (The Washington Post). Avery Brooks returns to play the title role after his acclaimed portrayals of Othello and Oedipus. Franchelle Stewart Dorn returns for the first time since 2000 to play the Queen of Persia.
Marking their first-ever productions of Marlowe, The Shakespeare Theatre Company presents Tamburlaine in repertory with Edward II.
