RICHARD II

Prospect Theatre Company

1 November 1968 - 21 March 1970

In 1968, Ian McKellen's Richard II established him as a leading Shakespeare actor. A second tour, in repertoire with Marlowe's Edward II, was a sensation at the 1969 Edinburgh Festival and played two sell-out seasons in London. Both productions were televised.
