The Tragedy of Richard III
Richard, the King’s youngest brother, has been dealt a cruel hand—diagnosed with a terminal illness, motor neurone disease. Disabled and disillusioned, with the war that crowned his brother now over, Richard is left without a purpose. What will he do with his dying days? Seize the crown? Or burn the kingdom to the ground?
Reflecting the true-life story of the lead, Michael Patrick, The Tragedy of Richard III is a tale of a man battling against time, disability and the chains of society. Richard's quest for the crown is not just a bid for power, but a defiant roar against the cruel fate that seeks to silence him. His fierce will to defy his fate will make for the coronation of the century.
Directed by Oisín Kearney and starring Michael Patrick, this reimagining of Shakespeare’s play is a story of unrelenting ambition and bloody betrayal.
