Two kings. Two tragedies. One unforgettable encounter. II reimagines Shakespeare's Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II as an intimate, poetic chamber piece in which power, desire, and memory intertwine. In a haunting dreamscape beyond time, two fallen monarchs confront the loves, betrayals, and losses that shaped their reigns, revealing the fragile humanity beneath the crown. Following acclaimed performances in Verona, Dublin, and Craiova, this internationally celebrated South African production returns home to Cape Town for a strictly limited season at the Artscape Arena.
