Shakespeare under the stars

Rehearsals have started for the production of Shakespeare’s historic dark comic tragedy, Richard III.

Directed by Geoffrey Hyland and starring award-winning actor Alan Committie in the title
role, the play will be presented
at the Maynardville Open-Air
Theatre in Wynberg from
Thursday February 7 to Saturday March 9.

The story follows the seductively charming Richard of Gloucester as he stages one of the most
calculated power grabs of all times to become the new king of England.

The production forms part
of the second Maynardville
Open-Air Festival, featuring a
programme of music, dance,
comedy and more, under the
stars.

Tickets for Richard III cost from R150 to R220. Book through Computicket.
