Richard II at Hatbox Theatre

Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad tales of the deaths of kings.
Phylloxera Productions presents Richard II, by William Shakespeare, a play about power, politics, and patriotism.
The leader of the most powerful country on earth is unfit for the job. His actions are irrational, his decisions are dangerous, and the people he most relies upon do not trust him. What, then, is to be done? And what will be the consequences?
Presented in modern dress, you will feel yourself transported into a very familiar world of political machinations by power-seekers in the corridors of government. You will think that the play was written yesterday. Filled with some of the Bard’s most vivid characters and beautiful language, this is a rare opportunity to see one of history’s best, but rarely performed plays. Directed by Gary Locke.
