The Summer Reading Series Presents EDWARD III On 8/20

The Summer Reading Series Thursday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m.- EDWARD II by Christopher Marlowe

In this gripping play (wildly popular in its time) Edward II neglects his wife and kingdom in the reckless pursuit of his chief courtier, Piers Gaveston. His consuming passion for this nobleman leads to civic unrest and the moral reprobation of a sitting king by religious and political enemies.

In this reading, twenty-one actors take on Marlowe's risk-taking theatricality, diving in to the gruesome, shocking, and funny world created by Shakespeare's great contemporary.

(PLEASE NOTE: the Summer Reading Series is not being held at Barnsdall Park.)
