Richard III

Tickets
Richard wants total power. He is a master manipulator and subtly winds you around his finger. With lies, intrigues and murders, he clears out everyone who stands between him and power. You see Rick Paul van Mulligen as King Richard III: the biggest arsehole Shakespeare ever wrote.

The bitter revenge of an outsider
Richard feels humiliated and excluded by society. Driven by anger, he hatches a plan to take revenge. With fine words and charm, he deceives everyone; from the people to his own family. Richard is willing to pay the highest price, but will he be able to hold on to power once he finally possesses it?

Now is the time of monsters
Director Noël Fischer: “I read a quote from the 1930s: ‘The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.’ I recognise this in Shakespeare’s Richard III, but also in the lust for power, the urge for control and the narcissistic games of autocratic politicians.”

With Rick Paul van Mulligen in the title role and a strong cast, you will see a sharp and dark production. In the theatre, a struggle unfolds in which words seduce and destroy.
