All guests must have a ticket. Richard II contains brief nudity, gunshots, and fog/haze effects. When is a king, a king no more? Ambition and betrayal reign supreme in this electrifying reimagining of Shakespeare's poetic masterpiece. Set in 1980s Manhattan, the neon skyline and shadowy backrooms become an epic battleground of identity and power, where a king's divine right crumbles beneath the weight of human frailty. Michael Urie's virtuosic performance and Craig Baldwin's inventive adaptation make Richard's tragic descent freshly immediate, staged a stone's throw from the site of the historic Astor Place Riots, the original American cocktail of politics, insurrection, and Shakespeare.
