This is a Matinee performance departing Radlett at 12 noon.

Richard II is charismatic, eloquent and loved by his friends.

And a disastrous King – dishonest, capricious 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 beautiful play finds feudal England on the cusp of modernity, as a divinely sanctioned monarch is confronted, in the figure of Henry Bolingbroke, by the hard-headed pragmatism of real authority.

Great new production starring Jonathan Bailey whose past work includes Bridgerton, Fellow Travellers and Cassio in the NT production of Othello and Edgar to Ian McKellen's King Lear.
