Richard III

POWER 
How to get it ?
How to lose it ?
That is the question

Join our Masterclass at Hotel Hamlet & Experience Richard III In the 2019
Spectacular Open air Shakespeare Festival Production at Kronborg Castle

From the Shakespeare Festival 2019 / Richard III:
Richard is unlike the others. And well aware of this he is. Richard has lost all hope of escaping from the box that he has been put into by the town gossip - due to his deformed body. One thing only can set him free – one thing only will work to give him the recognition and the respect that he longs for so badly:
THE CROWN – the ultimate symbol of the superior power in the realm.

So Richard decides to become a villain and accordingly removes everybody who stand in his way. A fatal choice this turns out to be. A choice that drags himself and his opponents through an amazing play of power; using sex, humiliation and murder on his way to the final disaster. Richard is probably the meanest and most villainous scoundrel in the entire history of theatre.

So do you have the guts to face him ?
If so: Join us at the ShakespeareMasterclass 2019.
