Review of Martin Freeman in Richard III in the Trafalgar Transformed season directed by Jamie Lloyd. Apologies. this review is almost entirely negative. I thought the direction immature, cliched and contemptuous of the audience who got spattered with stage blood. Freeman was OK, but all three recent Richard III’s were much better. SEE FULL REVIEW.
