Edward III
Shall the large limit of fair Britain

Thursday, August 14, 7:30pm

Synopsis
War with the Scots. Battle joined near Crécy. But first... shall we dance?

Edward III of England, having asserted his right to inherit the French throne, has no sooner begun marshaling forces for war with the imperious John of France, when news arrives of a Scottish invasion. Racing north to defend a castle under siege by the Scots, he finds himself doubly distracted by a covetous obsession over the wife of his friend, the Earl of Salisbury. When their encounter takes an unexpected turn, Edward emerges shaken–newly aware of his morphing roles as husband, father, and monarch.

This production will feature stylized movement inspired by console-based avatars of the late 1990s and beyond.
