A new version of Shakespeare's story about the hunchbacked cripple and titan of evil. Many critics note that this work of the great English playwright is practically a compendium of power, a kind of methodological guide for those planning to seize the throne. Alongside this, the core of the play about King Richard is a critique of despotism. The original solutions and tactics used by the politician before he became a ruler transform into an endless bloody terror devoid of any meaning, the main goal of which is to retain power. Long before the tragic events of the twentieth century, Shakespeare managed to leave humanity a peculiar reminder and warning that resonates particularly relevant today. The new interpretation of this story is on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theatre directed by Avtandil Varsimashvili. For more performances, visit our website in the theatre section.
