"From jigging veins of rhyming mother wits,
And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay,
We'll lead you to the stately tent of war,
Where you shall hear the Scythian Tamburlaine
Threatening the world with high astounding terms,
And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword."

For #ShakespeareSunday’s Chaos & Order theme I’m resharing this thread about Shakespeare’s great contemporary Christopher Marlowe, and specifically Tamburlaine, which at one point rather dominated my life…Tamburlaine destroys old decaying orders and imposes on them his own violent caprices and chaos

I love Marlowe and Con is so good as Tamburlaine, but it's very funny that the producers for this adaptation were like "What do scary shepherds sound like?" and the whole room replied "Northerners."

Latest read. Four plays by Marlowe. Faustus is fantastic, I’ll surely revisit it. ”The Jew of Malta” and “Edward II” are great as well, thrilling and dramatic.
Didn’t love Tamburlaine (I&II). Unsatisfying arc. A bit repetitive with small payoffs. Great template for a villain, though.

On 30th May 1593 Christopher Marlowe was stabbed to death in Deptford in circumstances that have provoked centuries of conjecture. Marlowe’s status as a great playwright should however be beyond dispute. Here’s a thread👇with my recordings from his Tamburlaine the Great #shakespearesunday #poemsaloud
