Until 4 July (excluding Sundays): Richard III at the Gatehouse Theatre

Why not take in a show at the Gatehouse Theatre this weekend?

Stafford Shakespeare's highly-anticipated production of Richard III opened on Tuesday (23 June).

Star of Netflix's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Matthew Duckett, is taking on the titular role of the treacherous and callous king.

The show is breaking from tradition, being set in the 1920s gangland world of Peaky Blinders.

The Gatehouse said: "The action unfolds around a bombed-out post-war pub where ruthless characters wrestle for England's crown.

"This high-stakes setting follows royal mayhem and murder through a brutal, Mafia-esque family dynamic."
