About The Making of Marlowe: Poet, Playwright, Provocateur - The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge
An interactive exhibition exploring the life of Canterbury’s most famous poet and playwright, Christopher Marlowe.
Born in 1564—the same year as William Shakespeare—Marlowe came of age during the height of the English Renaissance.
Despite his short and turbulent life, Marlowe left behind an extraordinary legacy of poetry, translations, and plays that changed the course of English literature.
Visit the exhibition to discover artefacts, historical documents and interactive displays that bring to the life the story of Canterbury’s notorious poet, playwright, and provocateur!
