Mallin Parry,Globe Head of Music James Maloney as Composer, and 2023 Globe Resident Associate Director Indiana Lown-Collins as Associate Director. Also the Casting Director is Becky Paris, Fight Director Rachel Bown-Williams, Movement Director Jess Williams and Voice & Text Nia Lynn.
The production has not been without controversy. When it was announced for The Globe in January, there was a backlash over not casting a disabled actor in the title role. In a statement, Terry responded by admitting that her casting might feel like a “missed opportunity for a disabled artist to play a disabled character on a major UK stage, but it will come around again”.
Richard III is now playing at Shakespeare’s Globe to 3 August 2024.
Also playing at Shakespeare’s Globe is Much Ado About Nothing until 24 August 2024.
