edward II

Edward II is an epic drama about the titular king who’s love for his low-born favourite enrages the court and destroys the kingdom. Marlowe’s infamous tragedy explores early-modern depictions of power, masculinity, and sexuality.

Edward II ran in repertory with The Jew of Malta in February 2012 at the Bus Stop Theatre.
