RICHARD II
by William Shakespeare
Saturday 28 October to Saturday 4 November 2017
Mary Wallace Theatre
"... England, that was wont to conquer others Hath made a shameful conquest of itself" A despotic ruler embedded in the past, surrounded by yes-men. A country taxed to the hilt, led into futile wars and feuds, and haunted by suspected murders. Opposition gathers round a rival in the hopes of new start. Shakespeare's great lyrical tragedy shows a world on the brink - but is it of chaos, or a new order?
