Photos are in for the new production of Shakespeare’s Richard III, directed by and starring Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury in Bridgerton).
Produced by the Rose Theatre Kingston and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse Theatres, Richard III is now running at the Liverpool Playhouse until 22 April 2023, and then the Rose Theatre in Kingston from 26 April to 13 May 2023.
