The Marlen of Prague: Christopher Marlowe and the City of Gold

Published by Guardbridge Books, UK

There were many rumours about the fate of the playwright Christopher Marlowe. Though it is generally accepted that he was murdered in a tavern brawl in Deptford, it has been suggested that his death was faked. Also, he was a spy. Primlani has taken these rumours and run with them.

"There were many rumours about the fate of the playwright Christopher Marlowe. Though it is generally accepted that he was murdered in a tavern brawl in Deptford, it has been suggested that his death was faked. Also, he was a spy. Primlani has taken these rumours and run with them."

British Science Fiction Association Review

"Primlani, a playwright, theatre director, and actor, has obviously delved deeply into Byzantine networks of research and come up with a story which repays her work... [the] complicated relationship between Marlowe and Edwin, the shifting and amorphous levels of identity with which Marlowe must both deal with and construct, and his own guilt about the previous reality-shift he has been responsible for, make The Marlen of Prague a page-turner right to its ambiguous and poignant conclusion."
