Lazarus Theatre’s production of Marlowe’s epic, Edward II, will return to the stage in an explosive ensemble production after a sell-out 2017 run, which marked the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.
The production will be the first in a year-long residency at Greenwich Theatre.
Artistic Director Ricky Dukes said “We are thrilled to be taking up a yearlong residency at The Greenwich Theatre, a venue that has such theatrical heritage. We begin with one of the most thematically modern plays of the classical cannon, a transfer of our 2017 production of Marlowe’s politically charged and sexually explosive Edward II.”
Lazarus is an award-winning theatre company, re-imagining and revitalising classic work in visual, visceral and vibrant productions. The Lazarus at the Greenwich Season will begin with Marlowe’s Edward II, the following two titles shall be announced shortly. Over 500 tickets per production will be at just £10.
Edward II will play 16th – 27th January 2018.
