Derek Jarman's "Edward II" (1991)

Historians will say they were roommates. You may have heard of Christopher Marlowe’s play “Edward II”, but did you know that the long-ago King of England was a bit queer? Derek Jarman retells the ill-fated king’s story through a queer lens, reclaiming queer identity not just for King Edward II, but for all queer royalty. Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss historical accuracy, queer anachronisms, and all things Tilda Swinton, the ultimate queer muse. ALSO, we have a surprise guest: Nic’s cat! Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.
