Review: EDWARD II, Swan Theatre Photo
Review: EDWARD II, Swan Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Mar 6, 2025

'I'll bandy with the barons and the earls, and either die or live with Gaveston.' There has been much conjecture over the centuries as to the true nature of Edward II’s relationship with Piers Gaveston; were they friends, committed partners, or something in between? It’s not something for which we can ever have conclusive proof, thanks to the passing of time and the fact that sexuality wasn’t as rigidly defined in medieval times as it is now. Christopher Marlowe had his own thoughts about the pair, and that is what we see brought to life in his history play.

Interview: 'It's Irritating To Be Suddenly Old and Wise': Actor Elliot Levey on Playing Polonius in HAMLET
by Kat Mokrynski - Feb 8, 2025

A new production of Hamlet is arriving at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Directed by Rupert Goold and starring Luke Thallon in the titular role, the play, which is being described as “high concept,” promises to bring a new take to the iconic story. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Elliot Levey, who plays Polonius, the father of Ophelia and Laertes. We discussed how Shakespeare has been a part of his acting career since he first auditioned for the National Youth Theatre, how one should treat the work of Shakespeare and even how he connects with Polonius as a father himself!
