Marlowe does good work here, and the readers in the Librivox version are great, but he’s let down a little by the historical events he’s chosen to portray, and the political slant he takes. It lets you see how much of the grandeur of his work is based one what, back then, was a sort of national style. It’s always interesting to listen to Elizabethan plays which aren’t Shakespeare.
