The Globe Theatre will be putting on a production of Shakespeare's "Richard III".

It tells the story of the evil Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who took Edward IV's two young sons into custody on the old king's death. When the two princes disappeared shortly after, Richard claimed the throne for himself, and woe betide anyone who dared to raise a voice against him!

Shakespeare's memorable protrayel of Richard gives us a monstrous villain, revelling at every moment in his homicidal rise to absolute power.

The Globe Theatre is a perfect reconstruction of an Elizabethan playhouse that originally stood in Shakespeare’s day, and features wooden seats in balconies, and a stage that is open to the weather.
