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.
