Ριχάρδος Β’ - Γουίλιαμ Σαίξπηρ

Theatro Dentro and YPOGAIA Cultural Organisation present William Shakespeare's masterpiece Richard II, a play delving into the boundaries of power and the tragic fall of a king, while illuminating the eternal struggle of man with power and himself; a breathtaking journey from ignorance to awareness.

Directed by Leandros Taliotis, the play follows the path of Richard II, a young monarch who discovers his true identity through his downfall—a noble yet weak character whose detachment from reality leads him to destruction.

The performance highlights Shakespeare's masterful art in depicting the gradual awakening of the king as betrayal and abandonment surround him. Through an emotional journey of self-awareness, the fallen king discovers his true royal essence just as he loses his crown. The plot is set within the historical backdrop of the events that sparked the Wars of the Roses, providing a profound exploration of the nature of power, identity, and human consciousness.

The theatrical adaptation of Richard II’s story is not just another historical narrative; it serves as a mirror reflecting our modern society, where power continues to intoxicate, corrupt, and ultimately destroy.
