'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?

Christopher Marlowe had his own thoughts about the pair, and that is what we see brought to life in his history play.
All new rehearsal photos have been released for the RSC’s production of Christopher Marlowe’s rarely performed tragedy, Edward II, which runs in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon beginning next month.
