The rest, to me, are adequate (  ) antiquary | May 20, 2008 |  The play that rises above all his contemporaries is The Jew of Malta. Such exquisite bad taste. Unlike The Merchant of Venice, this is no easy acceptance of the mores of the time. Savage and bleak, Marlowe shows we are all as bad. But somehow this is cheering. A sort of Sam Beckett play but about morality instead of 'our condition'. ( ) m.a.harding | Oct 12, 2007 | A comprehensive collection of Marlowe’s plays. Marlowe is a brilliant playwrite, often overlooked by syllabusus in favour of Shakespeare. Well worth dipping into. (  ) mrsradcliffe | Jul 25, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
