Query: Good then, good today!

King Edward II of England shocked Medieval England with his open bisexuality, and after he was deposed, he was murdered, some say by having a red-hot poker thrust up his anus. Nearly three hundred years later, famed playwright Christopher Marlowe adapted his story for the stage. Another 400 years later, the BBC took Marlowe's play and brought it to television.This 1969 play is a very good adaptation of the play. Ian McKellen (who played Gandalf & Magneto!) brings a refinement to the role, such as you might expect from the great actor. Indeed, the entire cast does a great job - the BBC was probably at its height when it did this production. Now, speaking of production, this play does show its age, and it was not as well produced as it could have been in 1969. But, that said, this is a very enjoyable play, one that was good then, and is just as good today!(Review of Edward II starring Ian McKellen and James Laurenson)
