For a long time it was unclear whether the play was actually his, or even whether it had been premiered, or at least ever outside England. Yes, no, perhaps. Recently, it has officially entered the corpus of the complete works.
In a way, we are invited to the first French premiere of a previously unpublished William Shakespeare play, this Edward III, which Cédric Gourmelon?s troupe has taken over.
The play opens with the incandescence of impossible love and ends with the butchery of the Hundred Years War. Young King Edward III is madly in love with a countess who doesn't want him, but others love him because he's winning in the theater of war.
From act to act, the style changes and evolves, sometimes abruptly, by turns poetic, lyrical, tragic, comic, tragi-comic? and the king loses in love what he wins in battle.
