Third Party Productions LTD with local actors present:
To Hell on a Handcart - Richard III
Friday August 29th at 730pm and Saturday 30th at 2pm and 7.30pm
Hastings Castle
Act I 50 minutes
Act II 45 minutes
Accessible, entertaining, and enthralling Shakespeare in the setting of Hastings Castle. Richard III- the crook-back chancer, a believable villain who sees a glimmer of opportunity and pursues it for all he is worth - to hell on a handcart!
Third Party Productions are in their 11th year of touring and are recreating a tour from 1598 - when a group of Shakespeare's actors took to the road with their props and costumes on the back of a handcart and toured the Cinque Ports.
This is not a performance to muddle you with its language, but fun, fast paced theatre packed with vitality by 6 actors and praised by the press for its suitability for all audiences. This is not a historical re-enactment but a theatrical event for everyone to enjoy - don't miss it!
