In the beginning of January 2013 I went
with my mother to go and see Richard the II performed by the Royal Shakespeare
Company featuring David Tennant and at the Barbican theatre in London. The
Barbican is one of Europe's biggest multi-arts as well as conference venue.
When it was developed it was from designs by the architects called Chamberlin,
Powell and Bon and was part of a bigger scheme to make London into a more
utopian vision after it was left devastated and destroyed by bombs during the
Second World War. It took over a decade for The Centre to be built and cost
about £156 million, which today would roughly be £500 million. It was in 1982
that the Barbican was opened by the Queen and it was declared as ‘one of the
modern wonders of the world’.
I found the play to be quite enjoyable even though the
actors spoke in Shakespearean, which was some times hard to understand but the
overall production was amazing the set was beautifully designed and created
though every simplistic but very creative.
Overall the production was absolutely stunning well worth a watch.
