Tamburlaine the Great
Tamburlaine the Great is Marlowe's first play. It is a sprawling epic that tells the story of the rise and fall of the Scythian conqueror Tamburlaine. The play is full of violence and bloodshed, but it also contains some of Marlowe's most beautiful poetry.

Edward II
Edward II is Marlowe's third play. It is a historical drama that tells the story of the reign and downfall of King Edward II of England. The play is a tragedy that explores the themes of love, betrayal, and the nature of kingship.

Dido, Queen of Carthage
Dido, Queen of Carthage is Marlowe's fourth play. It is a tragedy that tells the story of the love between Dido, the Queen of Carthage, and Aeneas, the Trojan hero. The play is based on the story in Virgil's Aeneid.
Dido is a strong and independent woman who is devoted to her people. But she is also a passionate and vulnerable woman who is deeply in love with Aeneas. Marlowe's play explores the nature of love and the dangers of passion.
The Massacre at Paris
The Massacre at Paris is Marlowe's fifth and final play. It is a historical drama that tells the story of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, a massacre of Huguenots in Paris in 1572. The play is a powerful indictment of religious intolerance and violence.
