h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Divine Dante - U156168
Project Name: Christopher Marlowe - Poet, Playwright, Profligate, Spy (A681941)

I got a bit carried away with the biography bit on Marlowe http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A678134
(he's a very interesting man!), so it might *ahem* need splitting into two... whadya think?

Also, would like to have entries on the 7 plays and major poems, as well as a separate entry on the various conspiracy theories regarding his death/new identity (not that I believe in any of that! Of course not..) & it might be nice to have one on recent interpretations/performances of his plays (theatre, radio, film...)

So entries would be -

Christopher Marlowe - Life and Death
Tamburlaine the Great
Doctor Faustus
The Jew of Malta
Edward the Second
Dido, Queen of Carthage
Massacre at Paris
The Plays in Performance
Poems
Marlovian Controversy and Conspiracy Theories

Start Date: Um, now?
Completion Date: This might take the rest of my life (unless someone wants to help me...?) but I'll try and get it done by 27th Feb

Thanks!

'A Renaissance Rebel who lived like a protagonist in one of his own plays, he was Oliver Reed playing James Bond. And he just happened to be one of the truly great writers in history.' I like the sound of that. I'll add you to the list then. Let me know when you've finished.
