Details

Edward, much to the despair of his wife and contempt of his barons, is very fond of both. King Edward comes to the throne, and immediately recalls his banished lover, Pierce Gaveston- an order that puts him at odds with most of his court. Edward must battle his sneering subjects, his scorned wife and his own family for not only the right to rule, but for the right to love... With a cast of more than 20 actors, the Kent Theatre Company's production is set in 1940s post apocalyptic England, vividly colouring the original text of a king's struggle to keep power in a dark and dilapidated world. The fast-paced, sensational and bloody staging, with its many twists and turns of plot, is expected to have audiences on the edge of their seats.
