Just a plug for the upcoming Off-Broadway run of David Brendan Hopes' EDWARD THE KING, at the Barrow Group, May 14 – May 24, 2008.

I am very proud of this production. I was part of the staged reading last year, and the play received a lot of great feedback (thus the fully staged version this year). I would love to see you all there :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Beset by the duties of his birth and dominated by a heroic father, Edward II (Chad Hoeppner of Broadway's "Come Back, Little Sheba") looks forward to a life of apparent conformity and desperate subterfuge, until he meets Piers Gaveston (Brian Charles Rooney of Broadway's "The Threepenny Opera") in a dirty alley. It is love and rebellion at first sight. From then on, Edward steers a perilous course between desire and safety, which does not entirely end even when he becomes king, and faces not only the usual enemies of unconventional love, but his queen and her lover as well. Edward the King neatly straddles the fourteenth and twenty-first centuries, which manage to appear almost equally violent and inhospitable to love.

Directed by: Sidney J. Burgoyne
Featuring: Meg McQuillan, Patrick Porter, & Jo Ann Cunningham

Rats, I'm just going to miss this by days!

You're always a delight to watch, Brian. As Birdie says in All About Eve, "Kill the people!"
