A Scythian shepherd of ferocious will rises to power to become king of half the world. An epic spectacle first performed in 1587 to wildly popular acclaim, the last major New York production of Tamburlaine was in 1956 on Broadway.
Now, audiences have a rare chance to see this disturbingly modern masterpiece by Christopher Marlowe.
Directed by Michael Boyd, four-time Olivier Award winner and former Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and starring OBIE and Drama Desk winner John Douglas Thompson.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY @ 1 PM (SUNDAY 11/9 @ 7 PM)

Audience Advisory: Tamburlaine, Parts I and II by Christopher Marlowe is a thrilling play about conquest. Though most of its battles happen off stage, there are some gunshots, stage blood and theatrical haze. Adult discretion advised
