Details

An explosive, contemporary re-telling of Richard III. Shakespeare's mesmerising portrait of human evil provides the doorway into the dark inner workings of Saddam Hussein's Iraq in the mid 1980s, and era when the Iraqi tyrant was still regarded as a hero incarnate of both Arab and Western worlds alike. Commissioned by the RSC for The Complete Works Festival.
