Richard III Troubadour Adaptation E-Play

'Since I cannot prove a lover
to entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
and hate the idle pleasures of these days.'

Richard, Duke of Gloucester desires the throne of England, at any price. Join us in witnessing all he sacrifices, seduces and plots to gain the crown. But once won... can he keep it?

Plays must be performed to be understood. In line with our mission to promote access to the arts everywhere, and to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare's First Folio, we are thrilled to release all nine of our Shakespeare adaptations in print for the first time. 

Our adaptations are short clear distillations of the original text that serve as an accessible introduction to the newcomer and a welcome starting point for an experienced Shakespearean.

If you are a school, a non-profit, a keen enthusiast (or anyone else non commercial) feel free to stage our adaptation, free of charge! That's right, we won't ask a penny in licensing fees. Please let us know your plans however! We would love to help and hear how you are getting along. 

The price set here is a donation, and all money donated will be re-invested in our digital learning programme. This programme will involve working on further editions of the texts which can include text notes, character analysis, song scores and staging starting points, as well as developing a video library of tutorials and further skills that will be able to be accessed free of charge... and much more!

If you are unable to donate at this time please contact the charity to arrange the script to be sent to you.
