The New Murrey and Blue blog

There have been several posts on this blog about theatrical productions of Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time. This book is, as all Ricardians know, a seminal work that stands up for Richard III’s innocence regarding the disappearance of his nephews, the so-called “Princes in the Tower”. Some of the posts have heralded the play, particularly the production at the Charing Cross Theatre, and there has been a review, but until now there I hadn’t seen any hint of what actual audiences have thought.

As you will see, they are all impressed, enchanted, convinced or whatever else that can be said of the play, the performance, the original book and of Richard III himself. It’s clear that more Ricardians came out of that theatre than had gone in. As the title of the book declares, Truth is the Daughter ofTime….
