It's London, 1593. Christopher Marlowe, a young writer, is fatally stabbed in a Deptford lodging house because of a disagreement over the bill. There's an investigation, the witnesses are interrogated, and the suspect walks free. The authorities find that Marlowe was the aggressor and was killed in self-defence. History says it was just a drunken quarrel, nothing more. But Charles Nicholl thinks it was murder, and an unsolved murder never grows old. The storm clouds are gathering. In Episode 3, we enter the last few weeks of Marlowe’s life, the weeks that end with his violent death in Deptford. Christopher Marlowe . . . . . Chris Lew Kum Hoi Robert Poley . . . . .
