Massacre at Paris by Christopher Marlowe
"Massacre at Paris" by Christopher Marlowe is an Elizabethan play from 1593. The work dramatizes the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, focusing on the violent clash between Catholics and Huguenots in Paris. The Duke of Guise orchestrates a brutal campaign against Protestant nobles, beginning with a royal wedding that masks deadly intentions. As assassination plots unfold and massacres spread through the city, the play traces shifting alliances between French kings and
the conflicts that lead to blood-soaked revenge and political upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
