Propeller Richard III Trailer.mov

'Edward Hall's superb, all-male company Propeller proves again the value of a true ensemble and a director who treats Shakespeare's plays as if they'd just been written.' The Guardian (on A Midsummer Night's Dream 2009).

Richard III brings the War of the Roses cycle of history plays to a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare's most villainous King, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour. This is a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story of one man's journey to heaven, then back to hell.

Internationally acclaimed all-male company, led by Director Edward Hall, Propeller is renowned for combining a rigorous approach to the text with an exciting, physical aesthetic to engage its audience's imagination and bring fresh understanding to classic plays. It's Shakespeare rediscovered
