Taking place at the Bridge Theatre, the show will see Bailey<\/a> reunited with director Nicholas Hytner, who he last worked with during the National Theatre production of Othello.<\/p>\n Bailey\u2019s prolific stage credits also include playing Edgar in Ian McKellen\u2019s King Lear at the Chichester Festival in 2017 and scooping up an Olivier Award for his portrayal of Jamie in Company. Plus, if you can\u2019t wait until next year, he\u2019ll be appearing in the newest series of Heartstopper<\/a> this October.<\/p>\n Richard II, while on the lesser known side of Shakespeare\u2019s folio, tells the thrilling story of a disastrous and rash king caught up in a plot to destroy him, a plot that would eventually take England to war.<\/p>\n When discussing the play, Hynter asked: \u201cWhat do you do when a ruler is absolutely inadequate? How do you get rid of the rightful leader?<\/p>\n \u201cOn the one hand, the play endorses Richard\u2019s right to rule and on the other hand it appears to endorse [Henry] Bolingbroke\u2019s greater capacity to rule.\u201d<\/p>\n The staging of the piece will be designed by Bob Crowley, who is likely to make use of the Bridge Theatre\u2019s flexible space. Right now, the venue is being used for an immersive production of Guys & Dolls, but has previously also been home to an enchanting walk-through production of A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream and Julius Caesar.<\/p>\n For this, however, Hynter told The Guardian it would be \u201ca cross between in-the-round and traverse\u201d.<\/p>\n So, if you\u2019re wanting to see this Capital \u2018R\u2019 Rake live, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n Jonathan Bailey\u2019s new production will be staged at the Bridge Theatre from 10th February to 10th May 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Bridge is the current home of Guys & Dolls and can be found on the riverfront by Tower Bridge, which means London Bridge (on the Northern and Jubilee lines) or Tower Hill (on the Circle and District lines) is your best bet for getting there.<\/p> Tickets for Richard II will go on general sale on Wednesday 26th June<\/strong>, so stay tuned for more information.<\/p>\n For more West End news and reviews, here\u2019s our Kiss Me, Kate review<\/a>, our Kathy and Stella review<\/a>, plus the best London plays<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n He’s upgrading from Viscount to King next February. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53585,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bridgertons-jonathan-bailey-to-star-in-new-london-production-of-richard-ii-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"He's upgrading from Viscount to King next February.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53584"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jonathan](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/RichardIISH020043-MAIN-IMAGE-by-Jason-Bell-1-80f5e2c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Richard_II_SH02_0043")
