As winter formal gives way to glorious spring fling, Richard – the class loser – lusts for power at Roseland High.

After years of torment due to his hemiplegia, Richard plots the ultimate rise in power: to become president of his senior class. But like all teenagers, and all despots, he is faced with the hardest question of all: is it better to be loved, or feared?

Mike Lew’s darkly comic take on Shakespeare’s Richard III has its UK debut. Donmar Artistic Director Michael Longhurst directs a cast including Daniel Monks as Richard and Susan Wokoma as Elizabeth York.

There will be an Audio-described performance for blind and partially sighted audience members at 2.30pm on Saturday 25 January 2020, with a touch tour starting at 1pm. Before the event, all bookers will have access to audio notes introducing the play, characters, costumes and set.
