Marking the 800th anniversary since the signing of Magna Carta, Shakespeare's shocking politically savvy play set during Plantagenet rule draws uncomfortable parallels with today's politicking and introduces one of the most infamous characters to the stage - not the eponymous King, but Faulconbridge the "Bastard".
Plantagenet Prince John, younger brother of Richard the Lionheart is determined to keep the throne for himself despite a stronger claim from his nephew Prince Arthur, he finds an astonishingly cruel answer to his prayers - he will blind his rival with a hot ion. But will his opponents allow him to carry out his vicious plan, or will John meet an untimely end in his ruthless quest for the crown?
This is the first time that the play has been performed at the Globe and a rare opportunity to see some vividly memorable characters brought to life on the stage, and now means that all 38 of Shakespeare's plays have been performed at this iconic venue. King John forms part of the Justice and Mercy season at the Globe.
