Extra performance of Richard II at Bridie's Yard Saturday 26th February, 7.30pm (no late admittance!)
Theatre of Now presents... Shakespeare's Richard II Directed by Jonathan Kay Doors open 7pm. Starts 7.30pm. No Late Admittance! Tickets available on the door. Payment by donation. Suggested donation £12. This production has been created using the delicate and intimate theatrical technique of Fooling, devised by the Director and world famous Fool Jonathan Kay. This performance opens up the inner world, using the imagination of the audience to create the costume, props and set; painting Richard II's world out of a palette of emotions. Working in complicity, the artists create the characters out of shapes, with several performers playing parts at the same time, revealing each of the characters hidden depths and changing moods. The result is magical, detailed and rich. A visual feast, even for those who do not readily appreciate Shakespeare! “FASCINATING! I actually liked it much more than I thought I would and even found it disturbing in parts – which is odd as you were just a bunch of fools in broad daylight! Amazing!” - Julie Burchill
