Meet Richard: the man, the myth, the monster. A new production of Shakespeare’s RICHARD III unfolds in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre this summer.
Imagine a world in which self-serving ambition is audaciously paraded and pursued, and murderous crimes are committed and confessed with irresistible charm, charisma and impunity. Who can stop this pathological narcissist before the whole country is deceived and destroyed?
Richard can taste the throne but before he can place the English crown on his own head, he must first set in motion a series of villainous events that threaten the lives of everyone around him.
Following 2023’s ???? ‘riveting’ (The Telegraph) A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Elle While returns to direct, with Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role.
‘Alack I love myself.’– Act V, scene 3

Located on the bank of the River Thames in Bankside's Cultural Quarter, Shakespeare's Globe welcomes thousands of visitors to experience world renowned productions of Shakespeare every day. Founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, Shakespeare's Globe stands a few hundred yards from its original site. Other than concessions to comply with modern day fire regulations, the Globe is as accurate a reconstruction of the 1599 Globe as was possible with the available evidence. Shakespeare's Globe is best accessed on foot. There are excellent footpaths along the river from Waterloo and from Southwark Bridge. The Millennium Footbridge is 50 metres from the Theatre.
