A refugee from war-torn Troy, Aeneas is seeking new roots and a new identity in Europe. Queen Dido is ready to help to build a second Troy in Italy – until the gods intervene, and mere cooperation is transformed into a fierce, possessive love for their own amusement.

Will they save the Trojan people or will love conquer all?

Dido and Aeneas’ epic love story plays out in Marlowe’s lush verse, bursting with iambic poetry and full of adventure.

Christopher Marlowe was a poet and playwright at the forefront of the 16th-century dramatic renaissance. Recognised as a homage to Virgil’s Aeneid, Dido, Queen of Carthage is widely considered as his first play.
