Overview
Edward II is, in a sense, Bertolt Brechtās only tragedy. Based on Christopher Marloweās classic of the same name, it departs from its source as widely as The Threepenny Opera departs from Gayās Beggarās Opera. Brecht has made a multitude of technical changes calculated to streamline the play, with a smaller cast and simpler action, and he has created virtually new and totally compelling characters with his extravagant variations on Anne, Edwardās queen, and Mortimer, the villain of the piece. Brecht also reinterprets Marloweās famously homosexual protagonist, creating an Edward initially more crudely homoerotic and ultimately more truly heroic. Brechtās Edward is a hero for the modern era: an existential hero defying a meaningless universe with his courage.
