NPR calls Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein “one of the country’s leading Shakespeareans.” Now Edelstein’s work takes center stage in his Old Globe directorial debut with Shakespeare’s most enchanting masterpiece, featuring a powerful musical score written expressly for the production by acclaimed classical composer Michael Torke. The Winter’s Talesweeps breathtakingly from tragedy to comedy and along the way visits kings and queens, dancing shepherds, a most extraordinary statue, and one notoriously hungry bear, before it reaches its stunning, magical conclusion.

Notorious villain, child murderer, hated despot. Richard III was evil, or so Shakespeare told us. But history tells another tale.
Who was he really? A dangerous tyrant or a dutiful king?
Who was the man found in the car park when all the stories are done?
Scrawny Cat Theatre Company’s unique, site specific production of Richard III will explore just that. Down among the foundations of The Rose Bankside – the theatre Shakespeare began his career in – puppets, music and physical theatre will bring history to life and let one of England’s most debated figures finally have his say.
