Resurgens Theatre Company, along with the Georgia State University Department of English, is pleased to announce our third biennial conference on early modern verse drama by Shakespeare’s contemporaries, “A Marlowe for All Seasons.” This conference will feature papers centred on some aspect of Christopher Marlowe’s plays in performance, from the Elizabethan era through the current day, but also welcomes topics involving Marlovian influence on the development of Renaissance drama and/or early modern print culture. The conference will be held on September 20 and 21, 2024 at the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, GA 30030—six miles from downtown Atlanta and on the MARTA rail line from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport). We’re still preparing the schedule, but our evening activities will include a pair of plays, Tamburlaine the Great, Parts One and Two, produced especially for conference attendees by Resurgens.
With the assistance of the GSU Dept. of English, we plan to publish a selection of papers from the proceedings.
