​ 'In a league of its own' - 'Chillingly effective'

​Exeunt's Best Regional Theatre 2016

'I have seen several performances of Richard III; Laurence Olivier and Ian McKellen on film, and Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic, but Emily Carding’s portrayal of the king who murders his way to the English throne is in a league of its own. [...]

​This innovative, daring re-imaging of the text means that the sense of danger as Richard’s schemes escalate, the sense of fear as we find ourselves to be pawns in his game, these feelings are physical, personal, palpable.'' ★★★★★ Catriona Scott, Broadway Baby

'This production blew me away. ... The power of Shakespeare’s poetry is on full display here, making Richard’s every line a tribute to his toxic brilliance. ... This performance is a masterpiece.  See it.' Michael Calcott, Fringey Bits

'Emily Carding’s powerful performance as the king in one of the Bard’s bloodiest plays is staggering ... You don’t need to know any Shakespeare to realize this show is electric.' André Crous,  Prague Post

'Somehow, with the most minimal of materials, this show is complete theatre.' Joan Kane, FringeReview
