RICHARD II

by William Shakespeare

1 December 2011 – 4 February 2012

‘O call back yesterday, bid time return.’

King Richard banishes his noblemen and seizes their land to fuel his own wars. As anger mounts, a battle for the soul of England begins and one man's divine right to rule is called into question.

Shakespeare's poetic masterpiece is an epic tale of destruction, ruin and decay that casts light on the decline of a kingdom and the solitude of power.
