A fascinating watch as it explores the rehearsal process behind Shakespeare’s most charismatic and complex villain. The program takes the audience on stage where the young actors from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art experiment with the play and present Richard’s manipulation, wit, and psychological depth. Watching the famous soliloquies take shape reveals how pacing, and physicality transforms the text. The behind-the-scenes format highlights the collaborative nature of theatre-making.
