| Description |
Edward II is a leader who fails to lead—king who loses everything because of his addiction to another man. Newly crowned and convinced he’s invincible, he flaunts his affair and in doing so, affronts the nation. Anthony Weigh’s new play gives Christopher Marlowe’s 14th century king a facelift, leaving the Elizabethan language behind, to meld the lust and politics of the 14th and 21st centuries. |
