Shakespeare at the Eye
Richard II by William Shakespeare, starring David Tennant, will be screened live via satellite from Stratford-upon-Avon by the Royal Shakespeare Company next Wednesday, November at 7pm in the Eye Cinema in Wellpark.
Richard is King, a monarch ordained by God to lead his people. But he is also a man of very human weakness. A man whose vanity threatens to divide the great houses of England and drag his people into a dynastic civil war that will last 100 years.
RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran directs David Tennant in the title role. David is joined in the by Oliver Ford Davies as the Duke of York, Michael Pennington as John of Gaunt and Nigel Lindsay as Bolingbroke.
Richard II is the first production to be broadcast live as part of the Live from Stratford-upon-Avon Season with more titles to be announced in the near future.
