Sir Antony Sher (1949 - 2021)

[Nick Armstrong]

A very sad loss indeed (to cancer).

I went to his Richard III at Stratford, and was so gripped that I went back twice, once there and once at the Barbican.

With his crutches and floor-length sleeves to assist, his astonishing physical performance embodied the “bottled spider” of the text



RIP

Possibly the greatest post -war Richard 3 ?

I too saw Richard III at the Barbican. It remains one of the most extraordinary performances I have seen, and can still see him in my mind’s eye scuttling around the stage with intimidating speed.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
