Richard III - Articles Page 3

Closing: August 03, 2024

Richard III - West End History , Info & More

Globe Theatre
Newcastle Street London

Meet Richard: the man, the myth, the monster. A new production of Shakespeare’s Richard III unfolds in the Globe Theatre this summer, with Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role.

Richard can taste the throne but before he can place the English crown on his own head, he must first set in motion a series of villainous events that threaten the lives of everyone around him.

Imagine a world in which self-serving ambition is audaciously paraded and pursued, and murderous crimes are committed and confessed with irresistible charm, charisma and impunity. Who can stop this pathological narcissist before the whole country is deceived and destroyed?

Following 2023’s ★★★★ ‘riveting’ (The Telegraph) A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Elle While returns to direct.

‘Alack I love myself.’

– Act V, scene 3

Review: EMMA at Silicon Valley Shakespeare
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - Sep 2, 2025


Emma, the well-intentioned matchmaker from Jane Austen’s first published novel is brought to life on the stage as the closing show for the 2025 Summer Repertory Sanborn Park Series. Kate Hamill’s fresh adaptation retains all the classic features of the story while using humor and physical comedy to pull out every morsel of satire from Austen’s voice. The rules of etiquette in proper society and the limited roles for women outside of marriage are Hamill’s favorite punching bags, and she packs a pretty strong punch.
