Richard III

There are too many insightful details crammed into this three-hour tour de force to do sufficient justice to … intelligent, witty and apposite” *****  The Daily Telegraph

“the overriding feeling is of a Shakespeare pulsing with muscular life – fresh, physical and utterly modern… there's far more to Propeller than boys in high heels.” The Independent

“This inventive company bring the most thrilling, and the most wayward, production you are ever likely to see - truly mesmerising.” British Theatre Guide

Richard III brings the War of the Roses cycle of history plays to a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare’s most villainous King, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour. This is a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story of one man’s journey to heaven then back to hell.

Running Times

Act Two: 1 hour 5 minutes

In complete contrast, The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s most farcical comedy, and also his smartest. Two sets of estranged twins, separated at birth, find themselves in the same city 25 years later with hilarious consequences. A series of mistaken identities, assumed personas, and wild mishaps bring a family crisis – so complicated that time itself loses the plot – into heart warming focus. Fortunately the audience is always one step ahead...

"It’s an unmitigated hoot.” *****  The Daily Telegraph

“the funniest and most farcical I've seen” ****  The Guardian
