Madison Children's Museum

King Edward loves life. He loves being King and ruling England, particularly the banquets and the knighthoods.

Edward loves his wife, Elizabeth. And he loves his mistress, Jane.

Jane loves her husband, Matthew. Matthew loves Jane, but doesn't particularly love how much Edward loves Jane, so Matthew signs on with the Pirate Stranguidge and his crew.

And that's just the first half of this comedic history by Shakespeare contemporary Thomas Heywood.

This event is suggested for adults and mature teens.

Tickets: $25 in advance, $30 on the day of the show.

Edward the Fourth brings the comedic history of England’s greatest party king to Wisconsin audiences for the first time. Written by Shakespeare contemporary Thomas Heywood, this play zooms in on the brother of future King Richard III. Edward drives his courtiers to distraction, his mother to fits, and his mistress’ husband to a life of piracy on the high seas. Edward is presented in the heart of Madison’s downtown for two weekends only, with tickets available through the museum.
