This summer Sport for Jove celebrates ten incredible years of theatre-making, ten summers of thrilling and surprising outdoor theatre, with their  most immersive and ambitious season yet: SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE RIOT.

ROSE RIOT consists of two distinct but linked productions.  THE HOLLOW CROWN (Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V) and THE WARS OF THE ROSES (Henry VI, Richard III).  Audiences can enjoy either show as a standalone production or experience full the cycle by seeing both.

ROSE RIOT is Artistic Director Damien Ryan’s furious new adaptation of Shakespeare’s extraordinary history cycle, covering a hundred years of riotous humanity and a pantheon of the earth’s most remarkable political thinkers and drinkers, warriors and clowns, villains, heroines and despots. From Richard II to Henry IV, Harry and Kate Percy, Falstaff and Henry V, Joan of Arc, Henry VI, the Queens Margaret and Elizabeth, Richard Plantagenet, the Lady Anne and her lover ‘misshapen Dick’.

“We’ve waited ten years to brings this epic, seething cycle to the outdoor festival and can’t wait to unleash these productions this summer with a brilliant cast of some of our most cherished actors.” said Ryan. “It’s not just the extraordinary battles, political factionalism and its revolving door of new kings and queens, it is its sheer humanity that draws me to it. It is extravagant, violent, funny, fierce and very moving. It could be described as history’s greatest leadership spills.”
