The Daughter of Time, Charing Cross Theatre review - unfocused version of novel that cleared Richard III

by Helen Hawkins

The writer did impressive research but shouldn't have fleshed out Josephine Tey's story Following confirmation that he was the owner of the bones found in a Leicester car park in 2012, Richard III has never been a hotter, or cooler, subject. So his fans will welcome a new play, based on an old book, about the misrepresentation of his character. The uninitiated, possibly not so much.
