Swansea Grand Theatre Wed 3 - Fri 5 Feb The highly acclaimed Fluellen Theatre Company opens its Shakespeare 400 series commemorating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, with one of the Bard's earliest and greatest plays. Richard III is in the Depot Studio of Swansea Grand Theatre from Wednesday 5th to Friday 7th February at 7.15pm, with a Thursday matinee at 1.00pm. Shakespeare's Richard III is a brilliant portrait of the rise and fall of a merciless fanatic, the original man you love to hate. The Wars of the Roses is over and the country is enjoying peace after a bloody civil war, but not Richard Duke of Gloucester. He wants the throne and there are several people considerably closer to it by lineage. The Duke usually gets what he wants and plots a murderous course to successfully seize the crown. "Fluellen Theatre Company is renowned for its ability to present classical theatre in a manner which blows away the cobwebs whilst preserving the integrity of the original." Western Mail Tickets for this evening with one of the greatest of all theatrical villains are available from the Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £10.00 & £8.00 (concessions) for the evening performances and £8.00 & £6.00 (concessions) for the matinee. |
