London, 1593.
A city on edge.
Under threat from plague and war, strangers are unwelcome, suspicion is
wholesale, severed heads grin from the spikes on Tower Bridge.
Playwright, poet and spy, Christopher Marlowe walks the city's mean
streets with just three days to find the murderous Tamburlaine, a killer
escaped from the pages of his most violent play.
Tamburlaine Must Die is the searing adventure of a man who dares to
defy both God and the state and whose murder remains a taunting mystery
to the present day.
