Think House of Cards, as Shakespeare’s darkest, funniest, thriller rips across our stage. Read more …
Three royal brothers, alike in every way but one - only the eldest can wear the crown. A shame for Edward and Clarence then, that their brother, Richard, is youngest… It’s time for them to stand aside, or face the consequences. Richard is on his way up.
Richard is scourge, trail-blazer, and finally king, in this darkly funny, twisted political thriller about grabbing power no matter what the cost. Why be good when being bad is, quite simply, so much fun?
A bold, fast-moving production of Shakespeare’s tale of jealousy, murder and destruction.
Perth Theatre’s Richard III is a stripped-back but highly-stylised rendition of a classic historical play. The focus placed on the characters and dialogue, paired with the interesting take on costume and staging, makes for an impressive piece of theatre.
Lu Kemp has created yet another riveting production which pleases the eye as much as the ear.
he story of Richard’s relentless rise – and eventual fall – has never seemed more timely; or more like a play for today, for Scotland and the world.
A precise, polished production.
Bristles with nice ideas and strong performances, but never quite achieves a consistent aesthetic.
Joseph Arkley--Richard III
