NT Live Presents Richard II--SUNDAY EVENING

2/23/2019

Join us for this encore broadcast!
Silver City Thunder Bay, Sunday, February 24, 6:30 pm.

A psychological study of power and its accompanying perils. Stripped back to a skeletal plot, Shakespeare’s most poetic history play becomes a political thriller — a tale of how to topple a king.

In this visceral new production, the pulse of war drums gets under the skin and the iron-grey box set offers no escape. It turns civil war into a cage-fight to the death.

The Tragedy of King Richard the Second
by William Shakespeare

Directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins. An Almeida Theatre production.

**** Simon Russell Beale proves himself our foremost Shakespearean actor - Independent

JOIN US at Silver City for a talk-back after the show!
Play begins at 6:30 pm
RUNNING TIME: 1h 55m
