About the show

The Show
Richard II is charismatic, eloquent and flamboyantly witty.

And a disastrous King - dishonest, dangerous and politically incompetent.

Echoing down the centuries is the perennial problem: how to deal with a ruler who has a rock solid right to rule but is set on wrecking the country he leads.

Shakespeare's subtle, ambiguous and powerful play revolves round two startlingly modern figures: Richard, an autocrat who believes he is divinely sanctioned, and Henry Bolingbroke, a hard-headed pragmatist who has genuine authority.

Richard II is played by Jonathan Bailey, whose past work includes Bridgerton, Fellow Travellers, Cassio in Nicholas Hytner's National Theatre production of Othello and Edgar to Ian McKellen's King Lear.

He has also won an Olivier Award for his role of Jamie in Company and is Fiyero in the upcoming Wicked movie.

Please note: there is no readmission to the the auditorium.
