Edward II is heir to the throne of the English Kingdom after his father's death. But instead of devoting himself to the state and its affairs, Edward II brings his lover Gaveston back from exile to his side, showers him with attention, desire and, above all, love - and in doing so brings nobility, state, church and his own wife , Queen Isabella, against herself.
So Isabella seeks advice from Lord Mortimer and makes a plan with him. The noble peers fuel the intrigue in the hope that politics and the state will return to their supposedly lawful order. And meanwhile the military threat from France to England seems more and more acute.
The Austrian playwright Ewald Palmetshofer has rewritten Christopher Marlowe's posthumously published royal drama, condensed it and condensed it with his radical, poetic language. He moves the battlefield of history into the private sphere and makes love absolute.
In the opening production in the box, director Jessica Weisskirchen deals with the questions of masculinity, love and power. What is the value of love? What does it mean to radically oppose your own desires to state power and religion? And to what extent should one fight for love? In Edward II's Love Am I, a web of intrigue, interests, power, uncompromising violence and defeat emerges, at the end of which a young prince will rise to power.
