Britain's What's On Event Guide
Richard III
Following acclaimed productions in Madrid and internationally, Argentine director Nicolás Pérez Costa presents a new London adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III.
Far from a traditional staging, this production transforms the classic tragedy into a visceral, dark, and deeply human contemporary theatrical experience. Performed in the round, this physically driven reinterpretation places the audience directly inside a brutal and decaying universe where power is fought through bodies, rhythm, and violence.
Brought to life by an international ensemble cast, the show combines intense physical theatre, live percussion, dynamic character transformations, and a bold Latin vision to explore the timeless mechanisms of ambition, seduction, and political destruction. It is a raw, poetic, and high-energy experience designed specifically for contemporary audiences, theatre enthusiasts, and lovers of bold, visual storytelling who want to see Shakespeare re-imagined for the modern world.
