How to book your tickets
And it’s about to get queerer…
Edward II wanders on to the empty stage, bloodied and confused. He has no idea where he is, or how he got here, but he does have an ominous feeling that something is wrong. As that feeling grows, so too does the threat on the other side of the auditorium doors.
Locked inside the theatre with some rather anarchic fellow inmates – Gertrude Stein, Harvey Milk and Quentin Crisp – Edward can’t escape what seems to be coming for him…
Hilarious and thought-provoking, After Edward welcomes us into a chaotic world of pride and shame; a place where Queer politics collide with imagined and personal experience.
This production marks the 50th Anniversary of the Pride movement in the UK.
After Edward was first performed at Shakespeare’s Globe, London on 21 March 2019.
