Finding Richard | Arthur Hughes and Gregory Doran

To mark the 10th anniversary of Richard III's skeleton being discovered in a Leicester car park, Arthur Hughes, who is currently playing Shakespeare's Richard III, and Director Gregory Doran visited the King Richard III Visitor Centre. There they saw a 3D reconstruction of the king’s skeleton, which revealed him to suffer from scoliosis, a condition characterised by a curvature of the spine. They also viewed the site upon which Richard’s remains were buried over 500 years ago, now transformed into a glass-floored contemplative space for visitors.

I recently bought the DVD of this RSC production of "Richard III". I have watched it and it is brilliant!!! Bravo to the entire cast!

Fascinating. I love both Richards. And I love to hear how actors draw on the historical Richard to bring Shakespeare's Richard to life. The 'I am myself, alone' speech says so much about how empathetic Shakespeare was to the character. Love the current production. Sooo hoping for DVD of th trilogy.

Car park; ergo, in this production: ‘A car, a car, my kingdom for a car!’ 🤓
