Red Bull Theater's 2025-26 Season will kick off next month with Michael Urie starring in a version of Shakespeare's Richard II. Ahead of the show's first performance, the cast met the press. This limited Off-Broadway engagement will continue through Sunday November 30th at the Astor Place Theatre. A long-time artistic collaborator of Red Bull Theater, Michael Urie has performed to acclaim in numerous Revelation Readings and Off-Broadway productions, including his celebrated star turns in The Revenger's Tragedy in 2005, and The Government Inspector in 2017. Michael Urie’s virtuosic performance and Craig Baldwin’s inventive adaptation make Richard’s tragic descent freshly immediate, staged a stone’s throw from the site of the historic Astor Place Riots, the original American cocktail of politics, insurrection, and Shakespeare.
