Edward II at A.C.T.

Plan ahead to join your MAX friends for this theater evening. This masterpiece, rarely staged because of its sheer scope, marks the A.C.T. debut of director Mark Lamos, widely praised for his arresting interpretations of Shakespearean and Jacobean drama, as well as for his productions of Rigoletto and La Boheme for the San Francisco Opera. Reserve online and Bill Funke will confirm your $50 member or $55 non-member ticket.
