  'If she hadn't died – if you had got to Italy – would you have married her for real?' 
  It's the week leading up to Kate and Geoff's wedding anniversary, and preparations for the party are in full swing. As they choose the music for their first dance, a letter from Switzerland arrives and quietly shatters their world.
  Buried for decades, the body of a young woman has been found in the melting ice. Is the past another country, or is it just beneath the surface?
  45 Years is an achingly tense, intimate and moving play, adapted by Hannah Patterson from Andrew Haigh's critically acclaimed film, itself based on a short story by David Constantine. The play was first performed in the Minerva Theatre at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2026, directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, with a cast including Gabriel Byrne and Geraldine James.

  Richard III

  William Shakespeare

  A riveting portrait of ambition without conscience, Richard III is one of William Shakespeare's most electrifying historical tragedies. Chronicling the ruthless rise and dramatic fall of one of England's most infamous monarchs, the play is a masterful study of manipulation, power, and the corrupting force of unchecked desire.
  
  At its center stands Richard, Duke of Gloucester—brilliant, embittered, and determined to seize the crown at any cost. Physically deformed and socially marginalized, Richard channels his resentment into a calculated campaign of deceit and violence. With chilling charisma and dark wit, he confides his schemes directly to the audience, inviting them into his web of treachery as he plots the destruction of brothers, nephews, rivals, and allies alike.
  
  Set during the turbulent aftermath of the Wars of the Roses, the play unfolds amid political instability and shifting loyalties. Through cunning persuasion, false piety, and ruthless brutality, Richard eliminates every obstacle in his path to the throne. Yet once crowned king, paranoia begins to replace confidence. Haunted by guilt and surrounded by enemies, his carefully constructed power base starts to crumble.
  
  Shakespeare crafts a complex villain who is at once terrifying and fascinating—a character whose intelligence and theatrical flair make him one of the most compelling figures in dramatic literature. The play explores themes of ambition, legitimacy, fate, revenge, and the moral consequences of tyranny. It also examines how language itself can be wielded as a weapon, as Richard manipulates perception to reshape reality.
  
  Filled with unforgettable scenes—from the calculated courtship of Lady Anne to the ghostly visitations on the eve of battle—Richard III combines political drama with psychological depth. The climactic Battle of Bosworth Field delivers both spectacle and inevitability, bringing Richard's meteoric ascent to a dramatic end.
  
  Darkly humorous, intensely dramatic, and profoundly insightful, Richard III remains a powerful exploration of the allure and danger of absolute power. Shakespeare's portrayal of a leader driven by ambition and stripped of moral restraint continues to resonate, offering a timeless reflection on politics, personality, and the cost of tyranny.
