Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival announces that\u00a0Christian Coulson<\/strong>, a featured actor in the Harry Potter film series, will play the title role in\u00a0William Shakespeare<\/strong>\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0epic\u00a0King Richard II<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Coulson is an English actor who is most widely recognized for his role as Tom Riddle in\u00a0Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets<\/em>. Other notable film credits include\u00a0The Hours\u00a0<\/em>(starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman),\u00a0Leaving Circadia\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0I am Nasrine.\u00a0<\/em>Television credits include a recurring role on\u00a0Nashville<\/em>, as well as\u00a0Nurse Jackie<\/em>,\u00a0The Good Wife<\/em>, and\u00a0Gossip Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Coulson\u2019s classical theatre credits include performances at such prestigious venues as The Old Globe theatre in San Diego, McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ, as well as national tours and West End productions in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristian Coulson is at the perfect point in his career to tackle this magnificent role,\u201d says Producing Artistic Director Patrick Mulcahy.\u00a0 \u201cHe is a consummate artist and craftsman and has the capacity for the full range of this role, most notably the extraordinary subtlety and nuance required to bring Richard\u2019s 360 degree journey to poignant fruition.\u201d
\n
\nKing Richard II<\/em>\u00a0will run\u00a0June 19\u2013 August 5, 2018<\/strong>\u00a0on the Main Stage and will play in repertory, with the same cast alternating performances daily and often on the same day, with the play\u00a0Shakespeare in Love<\/em>, based on the screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. \u00a0Mr. Coulson will also play the role of Wessex in\u00a0Shakespeare in Love<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Convinced of his divine right to rule, King Richard acts recklessly and provides the canny Henry Bolingbroke an opening to seize the crown. Filled with magnificent verse and Shakespeare\u2019s singular wisdom and insight,\u00a0King Richard II<\/em>\u00a0is a deeply moving and illuminating portrait of how the forces of history collide to set in motion a dynastic civil war that lasts 100 years.\u00a0King<\/em>\u00a0Richard II<\/em>\u00a0is the first chapter in Shakespeare\u2019s epic cycle of history plays chronicling the wars that shaped the nation\u2019s political landscape. In coming seasons, PSF will produce the next two chapters:\u00a0Henry IV, Parts I<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0II.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

PSF directing credits include\u00a0Beauty and the Beast<\/em>; the Linny Fowler WillPower tours of\u00a0A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Hamlet;\u00a0<\/em>and associate director of\u00a0The Taming of the Shrew<\/em>.

About Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival<\/u><\/strong>
\nPennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Patrick Mulcahy, is the only professional Equity theatre of its scope and scale within a 50-mile radius. PSF is one of only a handful of theatres on the continent producing Shakespeare, musicals, classics, and contemporary plays, all of which can all be seen in rep and in multiple spaces within a few visits in a single summer season. Similarly, PSF will be among just a handful of theatres on the continent this summer to produce three Shakespeare plays in a single summer season.\u00a0 A patron would have to travel seven to nine hours from PSF to find a comparable range of offerings at a single theatre within a few weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

The Festival\u2019s award-winning company of many world-class artists includes Broadway, film, and television veterans, and winners and nominees of the Tony, Emmy, Obie, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, Jefferson, Hayes, Lortel, and Barrymore awards. A leading Shakespeare theatre with a national reputation for excellence, PSF has received coverage in\u00a0The Washington Post<\/em>,\u00a0NPR<\/em>,\u00a0American Theatre Magazine<\/em>,\u00a0The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em>, and in recent seasons\u00a0The New York<\/em>\u00a0Times\u00a0<\/em>has identified PSF as one of the leading summer theatre festivals in the nation. \u201cA world-class theater experience on a par with the top Bard fests,\u201d is how one New York Drama Desk reviewer characterized PSF.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1992 and the Official Shakespeare Festival of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, PSF\u2019s mission is to enrich, inspire, engage, and entertain the widest possible audience through first-rate productions of classical and contemporary plays, with a core commitment to Shakespeare and other master dramatists, and through an array of education and mentorship programs. A not-for-profit theatre, PSF receives significant support from its host, DeSales University, from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. With 150 performances of seven productions, the Festival attracts patrons each summer from 30+ states. In 26 years, PSF has offered 161 total productions (69 Shakespeare), and entertained 900,000+ patrons from 50 states, now averaging 38,000+ in attendance each summer season, plus another 14,000 students each year through its WillPower Tour. PSF is a multi-year recipient of awards from the National Endowment for the Arts: Shakespeare in American Communities, and is a constituent of Theatre Communications Group, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, and the Shakespeare Theatre Association. In 2013, leaders of the world\u2019s premier Shakespeare theatres gathered at PSF as the Festival hosted the international STA Conference.<\/p>\n

The Festival\u2019s vision is for world-class work.<\/p>\n
