After Edward rehearsal in pictures.
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…
After Edward is a new play written especially for the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse by Tom Stuart, in response to Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II. Tom Stuart plays the king Edward in both productions.
