About the show

Sold out in 2025. Back by popular demand. A king. A traitor. A villain. Or was he? Richard III returns to confront the myths that condemned him, challenging Shakespeare’s version of events and putting history itself on trial. In this gripping one-man performance, fact clashes with legend as Richard defends his reign and questions who gets to decide the truth. Provocative, compelling and darkly entertaining, this show asks whether history judged the wrong man. As power, propaganda, legacy and reputation collide on stage, you must decide whether history lied.
