About

Triple Olivier Award winner Roger Allam, one of the finest Shakespearean actors of his generation, and Olivier Award nominee Freddie Fox, one of Britain's most exciting young actors, lead a repertory company in this double bill combining Shakespeare's most powerful tragedy and his most beautiful and accessible history play.

A kingdom on a knife-edge. King Richard II (Freddie Fox) is a monarch of absolute power and divine right to rule. Easily swayed and badly advised, Richard plunges England into an ever-deepening crisis as his uncle, the Duke of York (Roger Allam) tries to rescue the country from disaster. But Richard's enemies are powerful, angry and out for revenge.
