Marlowe Festival and Documentary

The Marlowe Festival 2022 (May 16-21 2022) https://marlowefestival2022.wordpress.com/

The Marlowe Festival took place over a week in Rheims and Paris in May 2022, celebrating and engage with the works, life, and legacy of the poet-dramatist Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593). The Festival featured live performances of Marlowe’s plays, two academic conferences, and a series of special events including walking tours, lectures, and site visits. From 16-18 May 2022, the Festival was housed in Rheims for an international conference themed around ‘Marlowe and the Topicality of Textual Encounters’. Next the Festival moved to Paris from 19-21 May 2022, for a second international conference marking and commemorating the 450th anniversary of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre and included a live performance of a new French translation of Marlowe’s The Massacre At Paris: ‘Representations and Uses of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, in Europe and Beyond (1572-2022)’. The Marlowe Festival was a collaboration between researchers from Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Sorbonne Université, and the University of Kent.
