Who Played Queen Elizabeth in Richard III

Queen Elizabeth is a role in Richard III, a play that opened West End in 2012.

Richard Duke of Gloucester (Mark Rylance) is determined that he should wear the crown of England. He has already despatched one king and that king’s son; now all that stand in his way are two credulous brothers and two helpless nephews – the Princes in the Tower. And woe betide those – the women he wrongs, the henchmen he betrays – who dare to raise a voice against him. Monstrous, but theatrically electric, Richard is Shakespeare’s most charismatic, self-delighting villain, revelling at every moment in his homicidal, hypocritical journey to absolute power. Transferring from Shakespeare’s Globe, this is an all-male Original Practices production, exploring clothing, music, dance and settings possible in around 1593.
