How to get Jonathan Bailey in Richard II tickets as theatre sale goes live
Say goodbye to the loveable Viscount and hello to the corrupt King in this new Shakespearean adaptation.
Jonathan Bailey is swapping Bridgerton for Bolingbroke this winter, when he appears in a brand-new London production of Richard II.
For a limited time only, the man who captured our hearts as Lord Anthony Bridgerton – and will soon do so again as Fiyero in the Wicked movie – is taking on the title role in this classic Shakespearean history.
Taking place at the Bridge Theatre, the show will see Bailey reunited with director Nicholas Hytner, who he last worked with during the National Theatre production of Othello.
Bailey's prolific stage credits also include playing Edgar in Ian McKellen's King Lear at the Chichester Festival in 2017 and scooping up an Olivier Award for his portrayal of Jamie in Company. Plus, if you can't wait until next year, he'll be appearing in the newest series of Heartstopper this October.
Richard II, while on the lesser known side of Shakespeare's folio, tells the thrilling story of a disastrous and rash king caught up in a plot to destroy him, a plot that would eventually take England to war.

When discussing the play, Hynter asked: "What do you do when a ruler is absolutely inadequate? How do you get rid of the rightful leader? On the one hand, the play endorses Richard’s right to rule and on the other hand it appears to endorse [Henry] Bolingbroke’s greater capacity to rule."
How indeed? Well, let's find out. Here's how to get tickets to the upcoming production.
