This year’s Marlowe Lecture will take place at the Rose Theatre, Kingston-upon-Thames at 5 pm, on Saturday, the 24th November.

We are very pleased to say that the lecture will be given by Professor Frank Whately and will be about Marlowe and Edward Alleyn.  Those who heard Frank at the Marlowe-Shakespeare Conference in Kingston last November will testify to his brilliance as a communicator. Moreover, the approaching publication of his book on Alleyn makes the event all the more enticing.

Brief abstract:
A symbiotic relationship existed between Marlowe’s dramatic imagination and Alleyn’s performative power which was manifested on the stage of the Rose Theatre. What was the nature of that relationship? What did each contribute to enhancing the reputation of the other, both in the turbulent last years of the sixteenth century and since?
