TOM STUART talks about playing the gay king EDWARD II in Marlowes classic play

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , ,

 

Christopher Marlowe’s play EDWARD II written in the 16th Century about the medieval King who was deposed and beheaded is too rarely performed.  Which makes this new production at The Globe’s Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London even more special, particularly as for once the talented lead actor TOM STUART playing the role the gay King is also openly gay.

The play that has just opened to excellent reviews will be followed by second play performed by the same cast and written by Stuart himself and called After Edward. 

In a Facetime interview with Queerguru, the disarmingly charming Stuart talked about both the significant importance of Marlowe’s play to our community, and that his own play is based on how he reacted to playing such an intensely complicated figure such as Richard who was persecuted mainly for his sexuality.

P.S. You can read Queerguru’s Jonathan Kemp’s ☆☆☆☆☆ of Edward II here, and look out for our review of After Edward when it opens in London.

Kudos to both Sony Pictures Television and ABC TV for their groundbreaking move casting transgender actor Emmett Preciado as a Guest Star on The Good Doctor.  Preciado plays a fully rounded trans character devoid of all the cliched sterotypes which is a major breakthrough for mainstream TV.

Queerguru tracked the disarmingly charming Preciado to talk about his take on  it all.  Our prediction that he is destined for a bright future both in acting and also as a role model of future generations of trans people everywhere.

Check out our interview and you’ll see why we are so excited about being able to share this all with you
