It depicts the life and character of Christopher Marlowe, a renowned playwright of the Elizabethan era. PlotReckless but brilliant Cambridge scholar Kit Marlowe is conscripted by Francis Walsingham to be a spy for Queen Elizabeth. It is love at first sight for Kit and Walsingham's young cousin Thomas, and Kit is soon sent to the English college at Rheims to ferret out recusants conspiring against the Queen and her Church of England. Walsingham and his agents have enabled a conspiracy, later known as the Babington Plot, as a means to effect the execution of Elizabeth's rival, Mary, Queen of Scots. Kit is instrumental in the arrest of the conspirators, but horrified by their execution. Marlowe is portrayed as a secretive, solitary and eventually isolated person. Burgess explores his sexual addiction and passion for the theatre. AdaptationA feature film adaptation was announced in September 2010, starring Sam Riley as Kit and costarring James Purefoy, Ray Winstone, Ed Speleers, and Adam Sinclair in undisclosed roles. The screenplay was written by Michael Elias, and Nick Copus was set to direct.[1][2][3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sam-riley-play-kit-marlowe-27713|title=Sam Riley to play Kit Marlowe in Dead Man|first=Gregg|last=Kilda|date=12 September 2010|work=The Hollywood Reporter|accessdate=7 July 2017}} {{Burgess}}{{Christopher Marlowe}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Dead Man In Deptford, A}}{{1990s-hist-novel-stub}}{{1990s-LGBT-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/sam-riley-will-play-christopher-marlowe-in-a-dead-man-in-deptford/|title=Sam Riley Will Play Christopher Marlowe in A Dead Man In Deptford|date=13 September 2010|first=Russ|last=Fischer|publisher=/Film|accessdate=7 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/sam-riley-dead-man-deptford/|title=Sam Riley Is A Dead Man In Deptford|date=13 September 2010|first=James|last=White|work=Empire|accessdate=7 July 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170707210502/http://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/sam-riley-dead-man-deptford/|archivedate=7 July 2017|deadurl=no}} 6 : 1993 British novels|Christopher Marlowe|Hutchinson (publisher) books|Novels by Anthony Burgess|Novels set in the 16th century|Novels with gay themes |
