The Shakespeare Theatre Company presents:
Edward II
Edward II Tickets and Information
Synopsis
Deemed by many to be Christopher Marlowe's crowning achievement, Edward II features the playwright's most nuanced characters and some of his finest language. In the weak, stubborn character of Edward II, Marlowe created a compelling portrait of a flawed monarch. Though the son of a great general, Edward is an ineffectual king and, in the grips of a romantic obsession, fails to recognize the threats to his crown. As the play unfolds, Marlowe turns the doomed Edward into a more tragic figure, contrasting his plight with the ruthless nobles who depose him.
Gale Edwards (Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Hamlet) returns to direct. The Washington Post described her production of Richard III as "compulsively watchable [...] restlessly inventive."
Marking their first-ever productions of Marlowe, The Shakespeare Theatre Company presents Edward II in repertory with Tamburlaine.
