Opera House Shakespeare Festival 

July 21-30, 2023

3 plays:
Richard II
Henry IV
The Taming of the Shrew - All-female production

With festival ambassador (and playing Henry IV) Johnathan Cullen
 

Richard II - chronicling the historical rise and fall of King Richard the Second (and his usurpation by Henry IV) Shakespeare’s play is one of political intrigue mixed with emotional pathos. Both judgmental of, and sympathetic to the titular character, the play addresses a theme present in all of Shakespeare’s history plays: who has a better claim to the throne, the man anointed by God? Or the man supported by the people?

Directed by Grant Turner (also playing Richard) and Festival special guest Jonathan Cullen (also playing Henry).
