Spring 2020 - Events Cancelled or Postponed
'Richard II' - Postponed until fall 2020
by William Shakespeare
Believing himself to be divinely anointed, Richard II acts capriciously, abuses his power and leads England into a ruinously expensive foreign war. What makes Shakespeare's history play so fascinating is the journey of its protagonist: ultimately stripped of his crown, title and dignity, this arrogant and self-absorbed man confronts his own humanity and comes to terms with the true nature of power. Edward Isser directs one of Shakespeare's subtlest and most surprising masterpieces.
