REVIEW: Richard II, Arcola Theatre ✭✭✭✭

Macbeth When asked to reflect on Shakespeare’s most ‘political’ plays, many of us would say and Richard III without a thought. Such is the astonishing influence of House of Cards, whose iterations are both strongly influenced by these political tragedies. Consequently this ‘new version’ of Richard II, which retains Shakespeare’s text but is set in modern-day Parliament, risks unfavourable comparisons. In fact, it is a very shrewd interpretation, with excellent performances from the two leads, a very solid supporting cast, and a simple but highly effective set.

Kathryn Hunter is a magnificent lead, and manages to add gravitas to this breezy production. Having played Lear and Richard III, she can transcend gender with ease and masters Cyrano’s debonair masculinity.
