William Shakespeare-jobbing actor and promising young playwright-is dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.

<p/>An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words, and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons.
