THE MURDER & MYSTERY OF KIT MARLOWE 24th May Canterbury; May 25th May Bath

Our brand new show for 2026

Laugh your ruff off in The Natural’s new immersive show about the untimely demise of Marlowe.

In the heart of Deptford, 1593, a 29-year-old Christopher Marlowe has just been released on bail for heresy… Plague, poverty and plots are rife on the streets of London, and Kit Marlowe is embroiled in it all. Passed off as an accidental death during a brawl over payment, this murder mystery has remained unsolved for hundreds of years. Was he assassinated by the government? Was his death faked?

Set out on a journey to solve The Murder & Mystery of Kit Marlowe.

‘The Fayre has just been getting better and better and this year will be a cracker! It’s always such a great atmosphere with something for everyone throughout the day and this year’s theme is Birds.

We are also making the Fayre as accessible as possible. There will be Audio Description available for both shows and headsets can be booked in advance. There is also an opportunity for young people aged 11-18 to perform alongside the professionals. So, get down to glorious Radstock!’
