Edward III comes to life in a new version by playwright Octavio
Solis. Written after England's victory over the Spanish Armada in
1588, Edward III follows the exploits of King Edward III and his
son Edward, the Black Prince of Wales. England dominates on the
battlefield as the play explores questions of kinghood and chivalry
through the actions of King Edward and his son. Octavio Solis's
translation of the play provides all of the complexity and richness
of the original while renewing the allusions and metaphors lost
through time. This translation of Edward III was written as part of
the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which
commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays.
These translations present work from "The Bard" in language
accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of
Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of
contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from
diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the
twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for
the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.
