This powerful new adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s tragic drama is total re-envisioning of the story. A more intimate exploration of the fated king’s story, and the human emotion behind the complex relationship of Gaveston, Edward and Isabella. “The play achieves the monumental job of seamlessly mashing-up Marlowe's original language with Hogan's easily understandable storytelling. Hogan's EDWARD II is the palatable, Cliffs Notes® version of Marlowe's original play—itself truncated from historical accounts and Raphael Holished's Chronicles—disguised effortlessly with Hogan's aplomb mastery with iambic pentameter, making it her very own. In the process, she has expertly delivered a thought-provoking, easily-digestible work of theater, that will satisfy both Shakespeare-phobes and
Classical theater aficionados.”
