Richard II
Stage Actors on Film with actor Jo Chim 詹翠珊
•
2h 18m
In a revolutionary adaptation by Brad Fraser, this Richard is the story of a king who believes that God gives him the right to live above the rules and who ultimately suffers the consequences. The story is embedded in a time of great freedom that is soon crushed - the late 1970s and early '80s: when lives were lived at great volume against a suffocating strain of conservatism and fear. Fraser's adaptation maintains Shakespeare's text but draws on sources beyond Richard II.
Setting: Inspired by the glamour, grit and glitter of New York in the late ‘70s and early 80’s.
Audience Advisory: This production includes strong sexual content and partial nudity, mature content, violence and startling sounds. It also makes use of flashing lights, fog and haze effects. Recommended for audiences 18+.
