Shakespeare

Where can I see any traditional performance of Richard 111?

Transferring from Shakespeare's Globe, the Apollo Theatre in London has ann all-male Original Practices production, exploring clothing, music, dance and settings possible in around 1593.

Can't get much traditional than that and has the added bonus ofstarring the truly wonderful Mark Rylance.

Only problem - it doesnt open until November 2012. Worth waiting for though.

It's in Stratford until 15th Sept 2012 - and as this, imho, isthe truehome of Shakespeare, then this is where you should see it if you can: http://www.worldshake...atre/richard-iii.aspx

I think I will be going to see both if I am over here then, it's my favourite play by Shakespeare just ahead of MacBeth.
