Whose Richard? Which Richard? Richard My Richard @ Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds

Richard III (a terrific Kyle Rowe) is back — alive and kicking, though he can’t feel his feet or remember everything. Emerging from the grave to confront History (an embodied person!) he’s confused, bemused and enraged to discover that he’s been buried without honour, in disgrace, and his name and actions publicly besmirched. He doesn’t understand why he’s been remembered in such ways (as he’s a beefcake warrior, not a deformed horror), and particularly why his Queen Anne Neville has almost been erased from history. And why people seem to think he did certain things, especially to his nephews, and to him, it’s logical that ofcourse he wants his war horse!
