Theater en toneel

The bitter revenge of an outsider
Richard feels humiliated and shut out by society. Driven by rage, he hatches a plan to take revenge. With fine words and charm he deceives everyone, from the people to his own family. Richard is prepared to pay the highest price, but once he finally has power, can he hold on to it?

Now is the time of monsters
Director Noël Fischer: “I read a quote from the 1930s: ‘The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.’ I see that reflected in Shakespeare’s Richard III, but also in the lust for power, the urge to control and the narcissistic games of autocratic politicians.”

Writer Peer Wittenbols has created a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III for Noël Fischer. Featuring Gustav Borreman, Alex Hendrickx, Tessa Jonge Poerink, Livia Lamers, Rick Paul van Mulligen, Esther Scheldwacht, Betty Schuurman, Jip Smit, Mante Tausk and Vincent van Woerkom.
