“Rebellion and murder take the stage in one of Shakespeare’s lesser known histories, Richard II. Typically seen as a tragedy, the play follows the decline of a young king (played by Olivier Award-winning Eddie Redmayne) as he loses grip on power. As the final production of the Donmar’s acclaimed artistic director, Michael Grandage, choosing his swansong to be a play about a Machiavellian pretender to the throne threatening execution may seem peculiar. Yet perhaps in this light the production of an epic story about power will be even more intriguing.”
