Directed by David Gammons with set design by Sara Brown, the production of Christopher Marlowe's EDWARD II for Actors' Shakespeare Project is getting rave reviews. Running now through March 19!
"Erotic obsession, political machinations, hubris derailed by the spinning of Fortuna’s wheel — “Edward II” has everything you’d want from a great episode of “House of Cards,” or an Elizabethan-era history play. Director David R. Gammons’ freshly conceived production of Christopher Marlowe’s drama is unrelentingly moody and devilishly stylish; to look away for a moment is to risk missing the next gorgeously sculpted stage picture, often rendered through the interplay of light and shadow."

"When it comes to sheer brio of presentation, few directors in Boston can rival David R. Gammons. And when you combine his conceptual brilliance and visual ingenuity with a dynamic performer like Maurice Emmanuel Parent, the result can be spellbinding, as is frequently the case in Gammons’ brooding, sensual, and suspenseful production of Christopher Marlowe’s “Edward II." ... Director Gammons again illustrates his gift for immersing you in the worlds he creates onstage — a gift evident in his buoyantly joyful “The Comedy of Errors’’ at Actors’ Shakespeare Project and the spooky shock-fest of his “Hand to God’’ at SpeakEasy Stage Company, just to name two. His “Edward II’’ manages to seem both of its time and of our time."
