The Life & Death of Puppet King Richard II

King Richard faces a great reckoning in a little cell. The one-time golden boy is tarnished. He can’t stop crying or talking, in his ragged prison walls. Did he go, or was he pushed? Voices, choices, gilded loam and painted clay - who was pulling his strings? And if the King isn’t in charge, then who is?! Gregory Gudgeon (The Lion King, Shakespeare's Globe, Complicité & RSC) is the King who can't stop playing. BowerBird Prague are delighted to be collaborating with ONCA Gallery in their thrilling new site-specific space, The Cave. “An astonishing staging, thrilling and mesmerising.” Guy Roberts, artistic director Prague Shakespeare Co. "Highly original, really pulls the heartstrings, a highlight of the season." HE Jan Thompson OBE, UK Ambassador to the Czech Republic. "Brilliant. You will want to be in this show."
