ASSISTANT TOUR DIRECTOR

RICHARD II: UK TOUR

REVIVAL AND ADAPTATION BY ANNIE MCKENZIE & COCO MAERTENS, WRITTEN BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Richard II is directed by Annie McKenzie with movement direction by Crystal Zillwood, sound design/original music by Kester Hynds. Assistant Direction by Georgia Andrews and Assistant Tour Direction by Dana Hudson.

Synopsis:

Set in a near-future, post-global ecological collapse, Quandary Collectives Richard II is a bloodthirsty outdoor exhibition. This fearless adaptation blends Shakespeares text with visceral movement and live electronic music, while you see the politics of old and young clashing in maintaining Englands fragile peace. Join us as we ask what it takes to lead a country, why gender matters in positions of power and explore the price we pay for wanting autonomy over our lives.
