Purgatorija Festival concludes with Shakespeare’s Richard II

The production of William Shakespeare’s “Richard II,” directed by Boris Liješević, will conclude the competitive program of this year’s Purgatorija Mediterranean Theatre Festival. Produced by the Yugoslav Drama Theatre from Belgrade, the performance is scheduled to take place at the Summer Stage in Tivat.

The play explores how power distorts a ruler’s sense of self, focusing on the relationship between a king and his opponents rather than a mere succession crisis. The production features a cast including Milan Marić, Vojin Ćetković, Igor Samobor, and others. Tickets are available through the Tivat Culture Center website and physical box offices.
