A Scythian shepherd, Tamburlaine, rises by his bloody conquests and massive self-belief to become the most powerful man on the planet: what goes up, however, must come down…

David Farr directs Greg Hicks as Tamburlaine, in his own adaptation of Marlowe’s original, converting two plays into a single epic.

Tamburlaine was written by Marlowe in 1587 when he was just 23. He was to die six years later in a tavern brawl.
