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.

Hamlet – Globe to Globe – Shakespeare’s Globe, London – World Tour

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Dominic Dromgoole and Bill Bruckhurst

A TWO-YEAR TOUR TO EVER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Learning of his father’s death, Prince Hamlet comes home to find his uncle married to his mother and installed on the Danish throne. At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his ‘foul and most unnatural murder’.

Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humour, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s ‘poem unlimited’, a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of his genius.

Be at the start of a completely unprecedented theatrical adventure and help us launch this two-year worldwide tour of our pared-down, small-scale Hamlet, which will visit all 205 nations on earth.
