Edward II by Christopher Marlowe at Actors' Shakespeare Project

Actors’ Shakespeare Project kicks off 2017 with Christopher Marlowe’s complex Edward II, England’s notorious king who forsakes everything for his public and private passions--only to meet horrific ends at the hands of his queen and his conniving noblemen. ASP is fortunate to bring both the talents of its Resident Acting Company and director David R. Gammons to navigate the intricate theatrical landscape of this historically controversial and rarely seen play. Performances are February 22 – March 19, 2017, at the Charlestown Working Theater, 442 Bunker Hill St, Charlestown. For more information visit actorsshakespeareproject.org.
