Event Details

Ken Allden, Director of Richard III, this year’s Festival Play, will describe and animate the process of bringing the Play to the stage from text to performance.

He says "The Play is a ripping yarn as well as providing a fascinating insight into the perils of life under a murderous, tyrannical regime".

Shakespeare's play has also been described by Sir Ian Mackellen as "exciting, sexy, funny and violent"...
