Did you miss me?
This multi-award winning production has toured the globe from Prague to Reykjavik, Karachi to New York since 2015 with over 100 performances to date but was stopped as we all were when a certain pandemic hit. Well, we're back! A completely covid-safe version is now available for touring. We know the show is to die for but we want to keep you perfectly safe none-the-less. Please get in touch if you want more details on what this means and if it suits your venue.
We've updated the title too...
To reflect Emily Carding's pronouns now being they/them we've updated the name of the show to Richard III (a one-person show). It's the same smashing performance as ever. This show has never been about gender, it wasn't when we made it and it isn't now. But it's important that the name reflect the experience and we feel 'a one-person show' fits a lot better. Please use they/them when talking about Emily, whether in a review, email or a tweet.
Have you met Richard?
All the world is a stage. What part will you play?
Pushing the boundaries of Shakespearean Performance, Brite Theater have re-imagined Richard III as a one-person show. The fourth wall has been utterly obliterated as you the audience takes on the roles of all the other characters at Richard's party in this intimate, exciting and moving production. Let Richard entertain you...but will you survive? An experience of the Shakespeare classic like no other.
