Richard II

Richard II is a story of power, betrayal, and political collapse. Set against the turmoil of 1970s England, this new telling from Get a Proper Job Theatre Company explores the fragility of leadership and the cost of inherited authority in a nation on the brink of change. This production foregrounds the tension between public image and private self. Power is treated as something performed, maintained through language, ritual, and appearance, rather than force. As that performance falters, the space between who Richard is and who he claims to be grows ever wider.
