Edward II by Christopher Marlowe at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, from 21 February to 5 April 2025. Directed by Daniel Raggett.
Preview.
"I see your love to Gaveston will be the ruin of the realm and you."
The King is dead, long live the King. And his boyfriend. When Edward II insists on ruling with the man he loves by his side, the Palace refuses. The establishment conspires to restore the natural order, plunging the country into a civil war and threatening the very existence of the monarchy.Better a dead king than a gay king.
Double Olivier Award-winner and RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans returns to the stage in Daniel Raggett’s production of Marlowe’s violent and tender play.
