Edward II（1991）｜戴力・賈曼的激進改編，王權、慾望與酷兒政治的電影宣言
劇情簡介《Edward II》改編自克里斯多福・馬洛的同名戲劇，由英國導演戴力・賈曼執導。電影以中世紀英格蘭國王愛德華二世的統治為主軸，直面其與男性寵臣的情感關係，將權力鬥爭、同性慾望與政治迫害交織為一部極具挑釁性的歷史寓言。 #EdwardII #EdwardII1991 #DerekJarman #QueerCinema #ArtFilm #BritishCinema

🏴 #OTD in #History 14 October 1322, #ScottishIndependence came a step closer at the #BattleofOldByland in Yorkshire, England, as the Scottish army of #RobertTheBruce defeated the English army of #EdwardII.
Took on two small, contrasting roles in Edward II and somehow I look prettier as the murderer? I spent the whole time trying to look evil… 😂
Great photos though and so pleased to wear my Queenie dress again!

DYK #EdwardII (b. 1284) was a sexual hypocrite? “Sodomites” were #BurnedAlive in his reign. But his barons hated him for his own #sodomy. They allegedly skewered him to death anally for favoring his lover, #PiersGaveston. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory

This time last week we were hurtling our wat to Stratford Upon Avon to catch Daniel Raggett's blistering production of #Marlowe's #EdwardII at #TheRSC
#Bliss
A brilliant and powerful final night performance by @the-rsc.bsky.social of Edward II. Great cast and staging.
#EdwardII
The company of Edward II sit and stand on the mosaic-style stage of the Swan Theatre; they are all smiley.
Farewell to our #EdwardII company 👑
Sending lots of love to everyone for their final performances today ❤️
#EdwardII at the RSC:
Daniel Evans is amazing in this very daring production. I liked how it didn’t have an interval, so the tension built, and built… and built. It was also a nice immersive start to allow the audience to walk across the stage as part of the lying in state that sets the scene.
#Hamlet at the RSC (which I saw for the second time as part of a two-show visit alongside #EdwardII):
Loved seeing this again. Luke Thallon gave another great performance, which was subtly different from the first time I saw it. Enjoyed seeing the staging from a different perspective too!

#5* from Amarjeet Singh for Edward II at Swan Theatre, Stratford upon Avon
“a remarkable and relentless assault on the senses. Barbaric, brisk and bewitching throughout”

Overheard coming out of #EdwardII last night:
That was very gay.
Yeah, and murderous.
Very gay and murderous.
(I think Marlowe would approve)
