Event Information

Shakespeare’s RICHARD II chronicles the historical and compelling saga of King Richard II including his controversial time in power, familial conflicts and inevitable imprisonment and downfall. This seldom seen history play seems a perfect choice to revisit right now, as notions of power, leadership, faith and honor all seem to be in a permanent state of chaotic flux in our current political climate. Who has the right to rule? How should a leader rule? What makes a good ruler? Is rebellion against traditions and norms held up for centuries good for a country? Or will it tear us all apart?
