Richard III

Fast-paced, raw and bloody, lasting only 90 minutes, aimed at making Shakespeare thrilling to young people and adults alike.

Richard III delves deep to reveal the story of a man who would be king; a man who hacks his way to the top and revenges his father's death; a man who reaches the summit and then finds himself alone in a self created nightmare and facing destruction from all sides.

Directed by Donnacadh O’Briain and Daniel Goldman
Southwark Playhouse, London

REVIEWS

“Tangram Theatre have thankfully spared us the 'modern day interpretation' and stayed true to the text, showing that Shakespeare can still be fresh and faithful and contemporary in all the right ways. I applaud Goldman and O'Briain for working within the framework and producing a classic versatile production...” - EXTRA! EXTRA!

“Directors Daniel Goldman and Donnacadh O’Briain have assembled a solid cast which boasts a handful of outstanding performances. Overall this is a credible, theatrical stab at one of Shakespeare’s most enjoyable plays and certainly deserves a wider audience.” - Culture Wars

“Daniel Goldman and Donnacadh O'Briain give us a simple, fast and urgent staging that is strong on narrative drive.... The production aims to be accessible to all audiences. I took two junior critics: the 13-year-old loved it.” - Financial Times
