He attended Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and graduated with a Master of Arts degree in 1587. After leaving Cambridge, Marlowe moved to London and began writing plays. Marlowe's first play, Tamburlaine the Great, was a huge success when it was performed in 1587. He followed this up with a series of other successful plays, including The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Edward the Second. Marlowe died in 1593 at the age of 29. He was killed in a tavern brawl under mysterious circumstances. Marlowe's plays are known for their powerful language, their complex characters, and their dramatic plots. He was one of the most influential playwrights of the Elizabethan era, and his work continues to be performed and studied today.
