It's fun, punk, rock and roll – Richard III opens soon
Shakespeare’s Richard III: 9 May - 3 August
Get ready to discover Shakespeare’s Richard III afresh when our bold production, examining modern-day tyrants through a feminist lens opens and discover Richard: the man, the myth, the monster.
A new production of Shakespeare’s Richard III unfolds in the Globe Theatre this summer. Directed by Elle White with Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role. Richard can taste the throne, but before he can place the English crown on his own head, he must first set in motion a series of villainous events that threaten the lives of everyone around him.
Imagine a world in which self-serving ambition is audaciously paraded and pursued, and murderous crimes are committed and confessed with irresistible charm and impunity. Who will stop this pathological narcissist before the whole country is deceived and destroyed?
