EDWARD II by Christopher Marlowe
Rose Theatre, Bankside
February 10th to March 5th 2011
This wonderful play returns to the Rose Theatre
for the first time in 400 years!
Edward, much to the despair of his wife
and contempt of his barons, is very fond of both. King Edward comes to the
throne, and immediately recalls his banished lover, Piers Gaveston - an order
that puts him at odds with most of his court. Edward must battle his sneering
subjects, his scorned wife and his own family for not only the right to rule,
but for the right to love...
This
rarely performed classic is a thrillingly crafted bloody tale of love, lust,
betrayal and class conflict; of what one man would do for power and what
another man would do in the face of love...
