Edward II
By Christopher Marlowe
Directed by Ian Guy
Edward Longshanks, Edward I is dead and his weak and ineffectual son is now Edward II.
His first command is to recall from exile in France his favourite, Piers Gaveston, an action that proves unwelcome amongst the Barons and the Bishops.
With rebellion brewing, the royal marriage falling apart and the different factions taking sides armies are raised and the executioner’s axe is wielded freely.
