  • The School of Night by Peter Whelan Directed by Bill Alexander October 30 – December 21, 2008 Mark Taper Forum Welcome to the School of Night
    The School of Night by Peter Whelan Directed by Bill Alexander October 30 – December 21, 2008 Mark Taper Forum Welcome to The School of Night At first glance, Peter Whelan’s 601 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 The School of Night appears to be a whodunit mystery about the murder of celebrated British poet and dramatist Christopher Marlowe. In truth, however, we already know Marlowe is dead and we know who did it — so what do we care whodunit? Actually, The School of Night is more of a why-dunit. Events surrounding Marlowe’s murder are clouded in mystery. The official story is that Marlowe got stabbed in the eye during a bar fight and died; end of story. But this short-and-sweet version is unsettling for a great many people who point out the suspicious circumstances — something about the story smells. Doug Cooney Writer Like what? For starters, Marlowe, the dead guy, was the most Rachel Fain important writer of his day — a flamboyant, eccentric and Managing Editor shockingly progressive writer at a time when the ruling power didn’t like to be shocked or progressed. Marlowe was also a Christine Mantilla former spy for the Queen and a supposed holder of dangerous Proofreader secrets. Even more curious, the case was quickly closed and Christopher Komuro Marlowe’s body was rushed into an unmarked grave. Graphic Designer Everything was handled a little too fast. Discovery Guide Feedback And then — more curious still — Shakespeare shows up after The School of Night Marlowe’s death with hit-play after hit-play, tragedies, histories, Information romances, comedies: the greatest playwright in English verse.

    Article Biography, Mythography and Criticism: The Life and Works of Christopher Marlowe ERNE, Lukas Christian Abstract The reception of Marlowe has often been marred by a vicious hermeneutic circle within which the play's protagonists are read into Marlowe's biography and the mythographic creature thus constructed informs the criticism of his plays. The documents about Marlowe's life and death that have come down to us are generally read as suggesting an unorthodox personality, allegedly atheistic, allegedly homosexual. These documents, in turn, are often thought to be reflected in the unorthodox protagonists of Marlowe's plays, in Tamburlaine's and Faustus's defiant challenges to God and in King Edward's love for his minions. The contention of this article is that these biographical and critical fallacies hide a more complex truth. Reference ERNE, Lukas Christian. Biography, Mythography and Criticism: The Life and Works of Christopher Marlowe. Modern Philology, 2005, vol. 103, p. 28-50 DOI : 10.1086/499177 Available at: http://archive-ouverte.unige.ch/unige:14485 Disclaimer: layout of this document may differ from the published version. 1 / 1 Lukas Erne 0 Life and Works of Christopher Marlowe 29 Biography, Mythography, and Criticism: over, considerable evidence appears to militate against identifying the young man as Marlowe. The lavish costume bespeaks considerable The Life and Works of Christopher Marlowe wealth, whereas Marlowe was the son of a cobbler who got into King's School on a scholarship for "poor boys" who were "destitute of the LUKAS ERNE help of friends."'
