Theatre North announces its latest project
From the team behind the critically-acclaimed award-winning BILLY BUDD SAILOR
E2
A political prisoner – naked and alone – is awaiting execution. Witnesses are ushered in to hear his final enforced confession. But this prisoner is a king – and his offence is love for another man.
A new site-responsive production for innovative flexible venues.
based on Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II
Performed by Martin Lewton – Directed by Andrew McKinnon.
“I have a body able to endure more than you can inflict, and therefore now I know you will assail my mind.”
E2 received its first performance, as a work in progress, as part of the In The Flesh programme at the Barbican Theatre Plymouth in December. It is now being developed with the help of a Residency at The Basement in Brighton.
