Seasoned Shakespearean actor Simon Russell Beale (King Lear) plays the last Plantagenet king, Richard II, in a visceral, subversively reimagined new production about the limits of power directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (Little Revolution, Absolute Hell).Expect to be surprised by this revival from the Almeida Theatre, which has a strong track record for startling interpretations of Shakespeare.
