A one-man play exploring how an Irish actor with dyslexia navigates show business hoping, but never knowing, if he'll ever get to play the king that once visited his hometown of Waterford - Richard II.
Keith left Ireland to train at RADA funded by his home town, filled with dreams of playing Shakespeare's Richard II. Along the way he discovers there's a lot more to it than dreams and flogging talent.
The play explores Keith's relationship with his nationality, dyslexia and the challenges of classical theatre. It sets his life growing up and becoming an actor against Richard's speech as he sailed up the River Suir in 1399.
“Keep up the good work producing cutting-edge theatre for everyone in London”
Councillor Jonathan Simpson, 29 January 2018
