Brian Kennedy, head of lifelong learning at Leicestershire County Council, said: “The play is a myth-busting journey through six main accusations levelled at Richard III and it’s being put on inone of the marquees used for last weekend’s reinterment service.”

The play is by InterAct (Wales), a theatrical company which has long held an interest in Richard III. When his mortal remains were discovered in 2012 by archaeologists from the University of Leicester, the group says it was determined to bring their version of his life and times to the stage.
