The Marlowe Society is renowned for its dedication to the performance and appreciation of classical theatre, particularly the works of William Shakespeare. Named after the famous playwright Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of Shakespeare's, the society is a beacon of scholarly and theatrical excellence.

The society's members, typically composed of seasoned actors and scholars, bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for Elizabethan and Jacobean drama to their performances.

With a rich catalogue of recorded plays, The Marlowe Society has contributed to the preservation and accessibility of Shakespeare's masterpieces. Their performances capture the nuance and rhythm of the original texts, offering listeners a chance to experience the plays as they might have been heard on the stages of Renaissance England. Their most recent releases, including "Romeo and Juliet," "The Tempest," and "As You Like It," continue this tradition, blending academic rigor with the vibrant energy of live theatre. The Marlowe Society's recordings are cherished by educators, students, and enthusiasts of Shakespearean drama, contributing significantly to the enduring legacy of the world's most celebrated playwright.
