Richard III

Author(s): William Shakespeare
Company: Rose Theatre and Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse Theatres in association with Swinging the Lens

A tale of ambition and manipulation, Richard III charts the rise of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, as he deceives and murders anyone who stands in his path to becoming King.

Reflecting on her own childhood in rural England in the 1960s, Adjoa Andoh, who directs and stars, sets out to explore how pathologising the body and ascribing evil intent due to a person's physical appearance can wear away at the soul.
