Jonathan Bailey is swapping Bridgerton for Bolingbroke this winter, when he appears in a brand-new London production of Richard II.<\/p>\n

For a limited time only, the man who captured our hearts as Lord Anthony Bridgerton \u2013 and will soon do so again as Fiyero in the Wicked<\/a> movie \u2013 is taking on the title role in this classic Shakespearean history.<\/p>\n

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? On 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

How indeed? Well, let\u2019s find out. Here\u2019s how to get tickets to the upcoming production.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Bailey\u2019s new production will be staged at the Bridge Theatre from 10th February to 10th May 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Previews will run from the 10th to the 17th, plus there will be an audio-described performance on Saturday 12th April (matinee) and a captioned performance on Friday 2nd May.<\/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>\n
