Most people didn't bother to dress up, but perhaps on weekends it's more formal.

Amazing performance - plot, acting and execution. The intimacy of the Mark Taper Forum was perfect for this event.Written on Nov 27 2008
It helps to have some familiarity with the history surrounding the events to follow the story - if you've seen Elizabeth, or are familiar with the life of Shakespeare, you'll get it; otherwise, arrive 10min early and read the background info in the program and it should all make sense.

Even though we purchased the most expensive tickets available, our seats were the very last row of the theater. I suppose if we had purchased the cheaper ones, we would have sat in the lobby. At first, I was not happy about this, but later realized what a blessing it had been. We were able to sneak out without being noticed.Written on Nov 26 2008
The play takes place in England in the late 1500's. I thought my hearing was affecting my understanding of what was going on, but when I whispered to my wife that she would have to explain the play to me during intermission, she said "Let's leave now!".
There were a few laughs from the Atheists in the audience when the main character prayed to "Dog". The laughter was more an affirmation of support for the Atheist than laughing because it was funny.

Description
In the late 16th Century, a young 29 year old playwright named Christopher Marlowe was brutally stabbed through the eye. Was it a mere pub brawl? Or was Marlowe attacked because he was a confessed atheist? Flagrant homosexual? Traitor? Sometime double-agent and spy? Or a member of the secret society of free thinkers, The School of Night? <p>In this gripping political thriller, everyone is a suspect and everyone has a hidden agenda. Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, The School of Night is directed by Bill Alexander, renowned former Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Artistic Director of Birmingham Repertory Theatre.</p> <p>Goldstar is partnering with Center Theatre Group to promote their Entertainment Stimulus Package, making $20 tickets available to their 2008-2009 season shows.</p>
