PRESS RELEASE:
Theatre Out, Orange County's gay and lesbian theatre, presents the World Premiere of Darcy Hogan's adaptation of
Christopher Marlowe's EDWARD II. Written in c.1592, EDWARD II, chronicles Edward's rise as the King of England and ultimately his downfall and overthrow as he begins to favor his lover, Gaveston, to the exclusion of his wife, Isabella. Hogan's new adaptation of the work is an intimate portrayal of the characters that focuses the play on the love triangle of Edward, Gaveston and Isabella as Edward loses control of his kingdom.
"We are extremely excited about Darcy Hogan's new adaptation of Marlowe's classic. Her work with the script has captured the essence of who these characters are – their passion, love and strength - while honoring the beauty of the language and the style. Marlowe would be proud," commented David C. Carnevale,
Theatre Out's Managing Director.
