I believe the answer is:

marlowe

(Other definitions for marlowe that I've seen before include "Author" , "Christopher -, sixteenth English dramatist" , "Christopher ..., playwright of 'Dr Faustus'" , "Christopher -, playwright (Tamburlaine)" , "English poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
