Present
Featuring Jeffrey Dench, a twenty-two year veteran of Great Britain’s
Royal Shakespeare Company in the title role, and Charles Gordone,
Aggie Player’s own award winning actor/playwright, as Gloucester, this
promises to be an exciting production of one of Shakespeare’s most
moving tragedies. This masterpiece of family greed and political in

rector of Theatre, Essex University.
