Shakespeare's Richard III - Bristol

Award-winning Antic Disposition’s hotly-anticipated production of Richard III comes to Bristol during Church Tourism Week

Brought to you in partnership with Bristol Cathedral for Church Tourism Week, Antic Disposition's thrilling new production of Shakespeare’s darkly comic drama will be staged in the middle of Bristol Cathedral’s Victorian Nave.

The War of the Roses is over and King Edward IV rules England. But his brother, Richard, is in no mood to celebrate. With murder, deceit and dark humour as his weapons, Richard overcomes friends and foes alike to seize the crown. But as the body count rises, he soon learns that a throne founded on blood offers little security.
