Next Production
Ever since the bones of King Richard III were exhumed from a Leicester City Council car park in 2012, interest in the much-maligned king continues to grow.
But as far as Shakespeare was concerned, the embittered and physically deformed crown usurper was an unadulterated villain. Director of Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe’s production in early March, Mike Butcher, believes Richard III is the best play Shakespeare ever wrote. He also believes he’s assembled the best cast to tell the story, with Colton Stuart in the main role, Allan Burne as Richard’s right-hand man Lord Buckingham, and Lian Butcher as Lady Anne Warwick, manipulated into marrying Richard but eventually murdered. Will the warring houses of York and Lancaster ever find peace?
The production dates are: 6, 7, 8 13, 14 & 15 March at 7.30pm. Tickets will be available from Eventfinda or on the door on the night.
