Jonathan Bailey in Richard II | Bridge Theatre opening night in London

Last night marked the official opening of Shakespeare's Richard II at the Bridge Theatre in London... it also marked the stage return of Jonathan Bailey, following the release of the cinematic box office smash that is Wicked.

We caught up with the two-time WhatsOnStage Award nominee and Olivier winner after the curtain call, alongside some of his fellow castmates – Royce Pierreson (who plays Henry Bullingbrook, Duke of Hereford), Vinnie Heaven (Duke of Aumerle), Amanda Root (Duchess of York / Green), Olivia Popica (Queen Isabel) and Michael Simkins (Duke of York) – to get their thoughts on director Nicholas Hytner's modern take on the historical tragedy and where audience member's loyalties should actually lie.

Bailey also discusses what might surprise theatregoers, including the "kookiness" of the character at the play's centre. Find out more in the video...
