In Richard III, Shakespeare offers us the portrait of a man who is driven beyond reason and moral conscience rule England. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, will do anything to have the crown of England placed on his head. Richard III is a story of greed, ambition and manipulation.
Synopsis
Richard III is considered to be one of Shakespeare’s most despicable and fascinating historical characters. Having already dispatched one king and that king’s son, Richard has his eye firmly planted on the throne and crown of England. But how much plotting and conniving can he perpetuate before he loses control of his plan to be the England’s monarch? In Shakespeare’s Richard III what seems easy, the dismissal of two credulous brothers and two helpless nephews – the Princes held in the Tower, is really very complicated. The more he betrays others, the closer Richard comes to his ultimate demise.

Harold Pinter’s Betrayal focuses on a husband, Robert, and wife, Emma, and their friend, Jerry, a literary agent. Betrayal, which tells its story by starting at the end and working its way towards the beginning, is an intriguing tale told through dialogue, at times sparse, silences and nuanced acting. Ten-time Tony winner Mike Nichols directs Daniel Craig (Robert), Rachel Weisz (Emma) and Rafe Spall (Jerry). This looks to be an amazing production of what is a highly innovative play by one of Great Britain’s most celebrated playwrights.
Synopsis
In Harold Pinter’s play Betrayal, married couple Emma and Robert count Jerry as one of their best friends. So how do Jerry and Emma end up having an affair? Betrayal reveals the inside story regarding the relationships these three adults share, both knowingly and unknowingly. In this drama, which utilizes reverse chronology, Pinter provides us with a provocative portrait that reveals lives that are hollow, false and deceptive in every manner. Betrayal, which is partly based on a secret, longtime affair Pinter had, is considered to be one of his most important and accomplished works. Audiences are fascinated as they watch this story move backwards, revealing more lies in every scene and exposing the empty love that defines each character.
