Edward II

by Christopher Marlowe
Direction: Ivo van Hove

German translation by Alfred Walter von Heymel
Edition by Bart van den Eynde

King Edward rejects both duty and work. He celebrates emotions and love. But in his brutally governed society, resistance springs up – political interests and alliances constantly shift. In this dark, lawless dystopia, love remains powerless.
