- Summary: Engine37 in a co-production with The Gallery Players presents a new play by Nat Cassidy: "As Christopher Marlowe lies bleeding to death from a fatal knife-wound to the face, his life flashes before his eyes (or, rather, eye). His host for this journey is his own personal Mephistopheles, a character about whom he never got the chance to write: the infamous Roman emperor, Caligula. The Reckoning of Kit & Little Boots is a fiery, impassioned, hallucinatory, and ultimately poignant exploration of the art of writing, of what it is that calls an author to a particular subject, and of the dangers that lie in the obsessions of a creative mind."
