Premiere
Steven Pimlott’s modern-dress production of Richard II – in which Samuel West played the title role – was the instalment of the a two-year Histories cycle in which all eight of Shakespeare’s history plays were staged in chronological order. In this Brechtian-production in the intimate studio space at The Other Place, Richard dragged around a wooden box which acted as a dais for the throne, a mirror and coffin.
