Richard feels humiliated and excluded by society. Driven by anger, he devises a plan for 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?

Director Noël Fischer: “I once 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 see that reflected in Shakespeare’s Richard III, but also in the lust for power, control and narcissistic games of autocratic politicians today.”

Writer Peer Wittenbols creates a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III for Noël Fischer. You will see Gustav Borreman, Alex Hendrickx, Tessa Jonge Poerink, Livia Lamers, Rick Paul van Mulligen, Esther Scheldwacht, Betty Schuurman, Jip Smit, Mante Tausk and Vincent van Woerkom
