Richard II
Richard II is charismatic, eloquent and loved by his friends.
And a disastrous King – dishonest, capricious and politically
incompetent. Echoing down the centuries is the perennial problem: how todeal with a ruler who has a rock solid right to rule but is set on wrecking the country he leads. Shakespeare’s subtle, ambiguous and beautiful play finds feudal England on the cusp of modernity, as a divinely sanctioned monarch is confronted, in the figure of Henry Bolingbroke, by the hard-headed pragmatism of real authority.

Richard II is played by Jonathan Bailey, whose past work includes Bridgerton, Fellow Travellers, Cassio in Nicholas Hytner’s National Theatre production of Othello and Edgar to Ian McKellen’s King Lear. He has also won an Olivier
Award for his role of Jamie in Company and is Fiyero in the up and coming Wicked movie.
