Kit the Musical by Julian Ng
18 July @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury in 1564. After an illustrious education at the King’s School and the University of Cambridge, he went on to define the plays of the Elizabethan period with his use of blank verse and his daring (and dangerous) subject matters. At the age of 29, he was supposedly killed in a rooming house in Deptford. Was it a brawling accident, or was it an assassination? Marlowe was rumoured to be a spy for Queen Elizabeth I. Did someone want him dead? Did he know things he should not have? Was it because he dared to think atheist thoughts? Or, was it a love triangle that got him killed?
Some believe that Marlowe didn’t die after all… so, what did happen?
This original British musical was conceived and written by Julian Ng, and will premiere in its entirety as a concert at the inaugural Medway Fringe 2026.
