Crown Matrimonial

by

"He abandoned the Crown and Country for the woman he loved"

Was it 'the supreme sacrifice of a man who put love above all' or 'a selfish and irresponsible dereliction of duty'?

Played out against a background of political anxiety and family tension, the play focuses on the drama leading to the abdication of Edward VIII.
