Love&Madness will offer two performances of Shakespeare’s Richard III at Tower of London, April 1-2, according to a report on Whatsonstage.com. Ben Kidd has directed the production.

Shakespeare’s play, which has numerous scenes set within the Tower, centers on the waning years of the War of the Roses as one of the Bard’s most diabolical and manipulative villains, Richard, stops at nothing to gain control of England. The Love&Madness production was originally seen at Riverside Theatres in 2010 and has since toured the U.K.

In related news, it has been announced that the company will also perform a new adaptation of Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist at Waterloo East Theatre, running April 5-10.
