Marlowe is unlikely to "be" Shakespeare, if only because Marlowe's dark, amoral, visceral plays are really many times better than anything the Bard of Avon dramatised. Shakespeare seems to be trying to "do a Marlowe" in Titus Andronicus (a nice piece of nasty work), and made use of "Marlowe's mighty line" - unrhymed iambic pentameter - for his speeches and sollioquies, but to my mind there is no question which is the star of the Elizabethan stage.
