Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh to explore societal prejudices by playing Richard III

Bridgerton actor, who will also direct the production, says she wants to talk about body pathologising'

Was Richard III inherently evil? Or was he othered, excluded and pathologised because of societal prejudices? What happens when the person who has been punched down, punches up?

These are the questions Adjoa Andoh will ask when she steps into the shoes of one of Shakespeare's most notorious villains, who deceived and murdered anyone who stood in his path to becoming king of England.
