Dass aus dem Sohn eines italienischen Wollwebers tatsächlich der Admiral des Weltmeeres wird, grenzt an ein Wunder.

Now let Christopher Marlowe tell you the truth: that his 'death' was an elaborate ruse to avoid his being hanged for heresy; that he was spirited across the channel to live on in lonely exile, longing for his true love and pining for the damp streets of London; that he continued to write plays and poetry, hiding behind the name of a colourless printer from Stratford - one William Shakespeare.
