Richard III : a one woman show @ The Hope Theatre
London on 12 - 13 Nov - 7.45pm


Pushing the boundaries of Shakespearean performance, Brite Theater have re-imagined Richard III as a bold and engaging one-woman show. The fourth wall has been utterly obliterated, as the audience take on the roles of all the other characters at Richards party in this intimate, exciting, and moving production. Let Richard entertain youbut will you survive? Richard III (A One Woman Show) was created by director Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottir and performer Emily Carding during a theatre residency in Reykjavik, Iceland in November 2014, and premiered at Prague Fringe in May 2015, winning every single award unprecedented in the history of Prague Fringe. It then went on to win the coveted Bobby award at Edinburgh Fringe. Since then Richard III (A One Woman Show) has toured throughout the UK and internationally, including Rome, Verona, Iceland, Slovakia and New York, all to high praise. ★★★★ Emily Carding and Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottirs adaptation of Richard III is a smart, sparse, stripped back version of the text built around Cardings utterly compelling performance. The Stage ★★★★★ Emily Cardings portrayal of the king who murders his way to the English throne is in a league of its own. Broadway Baby ★★★★ Coolly psychotic New York Times Box Office opens at 7.00pm for cash sales and collection of pre-booked tickets. The performance lasts 1 hour without interval. No re-admittance once the performance has commenced.
