Richard II

By William Shakespeare

An exploration about the nature of greatness is timely fare in an election year. Pitting Richard II, a man of words, against Bullingbrook, a man of action, Shakespeare raises the art of language to new heights while reminding us that rulers "feel want, taste grief, need friends."

This production closed December 7 at the Blackfriars Playhouse. But you can still buy tickets for our other shows. 

Richard II, opening in September, 2008, is our first production in the series The Histories: The Rise and Fall of Kings.
