The Mystery & Murder of Kit Marlowe

24th May 2026

A walking street theatre show

11am to 12pm, 12.30pm to 1.30pm, 3pm to 4pm, 4.30pm to 5.30pm at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge

Shrouded in mystery and controversy, little is known about the enigma that is Kit Marlowe.

There were murmurings of espionage, conspiracy and betrayal. Supposedly, he died in a bar fight. But what really happened to Shakespeare’s biggest rival?

The Natural Theatre Company has been tasked with uncovering the truth. In this intriguing walkabout show, we will embark on a fantastical journey through the streets and alleyways of Canterbury in an attempt to untangle the web of Marlowe.

Please note this is a walking street theatre show that will leave from the museum and take you on a tour of the city.  

This is a free event but advance booking is required. 

We aim to make our programme as accessible as possible so if you have any accessibility questions please contact: beaney@canterbury.gov.uk

The event is part of Canterbury Unlocked, a city-wide celebration.
