Born With Teeth

In Liz Duffy Adams’ punk-edged play, Born with Teeth, the great Kit Marlowe and up-and-comer Will Shakespeare meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose. Get ready for a comedy of Elizabethan proportions.

Check out Director, Michael Aaron Santos, and actors Ian Hoch and Dylan Hunter on WGNO’s Good Morning New Orleans with Wild Bill Wood. Watch the video here.

Wild Bill Wood sits behind a table on set at Le Petit Theatre. In front are actors in costume: Dylan Hunter as William Shakespeare and Ian Hoch as Christopher "Kit" Marlowe. Both actors hold open books and have one arm raised above their heads.
