Richard II at Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre is proud to present Ouroboros Theatre Company with Richard II, as part of the company’s exploration of Shakespeare’s history plays.

A timely examination of the nature of kingship, power and corruption, Richard II draws us into a world of Machiavellian deceit in which the effects of power have devastating consequences.

Artistic director of Ouroboros Theatre and well known actor Denis Conway brings a fresh perspective to Shakespeare’s classic tale, alongside founding company member and director Michael Barker-Caven.
