Richard II is Shakespeare’s examination of the destructive powers of privilege. In the second half of the Iizuka Repertory at The Magic, the company from the world premiere of Garuda’s Wing will perform a new, lean production of Iizuka’s Richard II shaped for this company. This will be the first Shakespeare produced by The Magic Theatre in decades and will feature POC, women, and queer folx throughout.
