Richard III Live from the Almeida // 21 Jul

The Almeida Theatre makes its live screening debut with an explosive
new adaptation of Richard III, directed by Almeida artistic director,

malevolent Richard, Shakespeare examines the all-consuming
nature of the desire for power amid a society riddled by conflict.

searing new production hones a microscopic focus on the mythology
surrounding a monarch whose machinations are inextricably woven
into the fabric of British history.

them to the TUC conference in Eastbourne – very appropriate! Funny,
touching and timeless, Made in Dagenham shows how ordinary
people can do extraordinary things when they stand together. With a
great score, including the song, Viva Eastbourne, this promises to be
an engaging fun, and energetic show – something new and British!
