What Theatre Productions Are Happening in Richmond This Weekend?

The standout theatrical event is Dance of Death at the Orange Tree Theatre, as detailed in Richmond Nub News’s coverage. As reported by the Richmond Nub News events team, the play centres on a vampire-like figure who

“sucks the life out of people because his own life bores him so much.”

Set against a plague-ravaging Europe, former actress Alice, portrayed by Lisa Dillon, and army Captain Edgar, played by Will Keen, find themselves quarantined on a remote island in a “bitter, brutal, and addictive marriage.” The plot intensifies when an old friend arrives to mark their wedding anniversary, providing the couple with

“the perfect excuse… to take their terrifying games to a new level.”

This production runs this weekend and continues until 13 February at the Orange Tree Theatre, located at 1 Clarence St, Richmond TW9 2SA. Pricing details and further information are available directly on the venue’s website, as noted by Richmond Nub News: “Visit website” and “See website for more information.”
