Kevin Spacey makes his Shakespearean debut in the UK as the doomed King Richard II coming to terms with a life stripped of authority.
Believing he's king by divine right, Richard II is confronted by rebellion. He becomes isolated, with a shrinking band of supporters, and detached from the country and its people. Shakespeare's play questions the meaning of 'monarchy' if a divinely appointed sovereign can be pushed aside, and a man with no such claim replaces him in power.
Trevor Nunn directs this celebrated play for the first time following on from his Olivier Award winning re-investigation of Hamlet at The old Vic last year.
