About the show

伦敦，1950年。警探艾伦·格兰特因伤卧床休养，手边除了大把时间，只剩一桩挥之不去的谜案。他要查的是什么？塔楼王子案——以及被指控为凶手的那位臭名昭著的人物：理查三世。在这部全新舞台改编作品中，改编自约瑟芬·泰伊开创性的小说《时间的女儿》，格兰特在一位年轻的美国研究员与一群性格各异的病房访客协助下，追索历史深处的真相。他们一同抽丝剥茧，拆解神话、宣传与政治操弄如何将理查三世塑造成史书里的“头号反派”。随着调查深入，一个令人无法回避的问题浮现：如果真正的“罪行”，是我们一直被灌输的那套说法呢？机智犀利的对白、严密的历史侦探推理与动人心弦的戏剧张力交织，这部世界首演之作发人深省，探讨叙事究竟如何被塑造——又是由谁来塑造。演出场地：查令十字剧院（Charing Cross Theatre），The Arches，Villiers Street，London WC2N 6NL 出品人：Excelsior Entertainment、Mercurius Theatre、Steven M.
