Mark Rylance will be starring as the much-maligned king in William Shakespeare's "Richard III".

The play 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 Apollo Theatre is a Grade II listed building with three galleries and elaborate plasterwork, in the very heart of London’s West End.
