Antony Byrne

 He will be portraying Thomas Mowbray in Richard II.


"Mowbray only appears within the first act of Richard II where his conflict with Bolingbroke is displayed. He is portrayed as a man who is a loyal subject and will only do evil deeds when he is directly ordered to by his king. When Richard announces that he shall be exiled from the kingdom for life, he is saddened, but accepts responsibility for his past actions and willingly departs. Later in the play, the Bishop of Carlisle briefly announces that Mowbray has died in exile." - http://www.shakespeareandhistory.com



Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal:
'Tis not the trial of a woman's war,
The bitter clamour of two eager tongues,
Can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain;
The blood is hot that must be cool'd for this:
Yet can I not of such tame patience boast
As to be hush'd and nought at all to say:
