SPEEC Play Reading Series: "Edward II" by Christopher Marlowe

Join us for the sixth play reading of Theatre Makers' SPEEC Play Reading Series of plays with social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes.

We'll read online this time due to the pandemic:

• "Edward II" by Christopher Marlowe telescopes most of Edward II's reign into a single narrative, beginning with the recall of his favorite, Piers Gaveston, from exile.

We will read this play in honor of Queer Freedom month!

Please RSVP and answer the question with your email address so that we can send you a PDF of the script.

The first half hour will be for people to get comfortable with the technology, make sure we all have scripts, and get acquainted a bit. Please arrive on time and be prepared to read the whole play, which will take approximately three hours (after the first half hour of the meeting, i.e. a total of 3.5 hours).

Everyone is welcome to read a part. If you'd prefer a particular role, please let us know in response to the RSVP question.
