Tennant’s hotly anticipated Richard II still to come – the
weight of interest in our national playwright becomes overwhelming."
excerpt from The Telegraph article Why is there so much Shakespeare on stage - Sarah Crompton September 27, 2013
"Richard II
- David Tennant tackles Shakespeare's most lyric king. Gregory Doran directs."
mentioned in the Autumn Hot List - the seasons unmissable events in The Sunday Times - compiled by Katy Hayes, Eithne Shortall, Mel Clarke, Lauren Murphy and Cristin Leach Hughes- September 15, 2013
"Richard II
- David Tennant
plays Shakespeare's flawed king in the opening salvo of Gregory
Doran's new RSC regime. A strong supporting cast includes
Nigel Lindsay as Bolingbroke and Michael Pennington as John of Gaunt;
much is expected given the huge success of the Tennant-Doran
Hamlet in 2008."

- David Tennant
joins forces again with director Greg Doran to portray the petulant and poetic Shakespearean king. Tickets are gold
dust for the Stratford run. It transfers to the Barbican in December and there's another chance to see it when it is filmed
and relayed to 100 UK cinemas on 17 November."
