Description
Under the York government, England seems to be returning to the happy days of peace. The War of the Roses is now a memory, embellished by the passage of time. But the unexpected death of King Edward IV breaks the apparent idyll: his brother, Richard, is about to succeed him on the throne of England. His political astuteness keeps him in the grip of allies and rivals alike. He will not shy away from fratricide, or even from spilling the blood of innocent children if they threaten his power. We witness the rise and fall of an unrivalled tyrant, whose distorted figure overshadowed an entire century of English history. This everlasting imprint of Shakespeare's creative genius is not only worn with time, but unfortunately, from time to time, what the immortal giant of universal drama and theatre history teaches us about the workings of power and tyranny, the eternal dialectic of human cruelty and vulnerability, and ultimately about man himself, becomes ever more relevant...
”Richard III” is the latest part of a directorial programme that has been ongoing for several years. Albu István's concept of incorporating live music into the dramatic plot offers audiences a unique performance experience, a real concert show. This time, world-famous American rock hits from the 1970s will take to the stage and the band's frontman will become the singing alter ego of the bloodthirsty Richard III.
