Masque Theatre Northampton congratulations to Masque theatre on a wonderful performance of Richard III and particularly to Isaac Griggs @IsaacGriggs for a real tour de force as Richard.

Did we have to put out more seats in the Courtyard for last night's Richard III? Yes. Did we, in fact, almost run out of extra seats? Also yes. You can book online for Sat's final (😢) show, but tonight sold out online with a few available on the door. Photo: @joestupidstupid

I am loving being in this play ! Only 2 more chances now !

Final show tonight! 🥺😢😭

📢 FINAL SHOW KLAXON 📢 This is the last one, folks! Tonight at 7.30pm is your last chance to catch what has been described as "absolutely fantastic", "brilliant", and "a masterpiece". Tickets are only on sale online til Midday, then on the door from 7pm. Photo: Rebecca Cockcroft

And so the end is nigh ! 😥 I have had the most amazing time with this cast and crew . Every single person has given their all to this fantastic production! Give us the send off we deserve by joining our final audience tonight !!! #northampton #supportlocaltheatre #Shakespeare

Today I have done one of the hardest jobs I have to do as a director - writing the thank you cards to the cast and crew of Richard III! My wrist aches. Tonight will be the very hardest - finishing the show and saying goodbye. But there will be a party...😎

We’re not kidding folks, this is it. The final one. There are still tickets on the door from 7pm. So pack a blanket or a jacket, cash or card for the refreshments, and join us at Abington Park Museum for Richard III’s final show (Sat 6 Aug) Photo: @joestupidstupid

This has been a very special time with a very special group of people who I call friends !Every single one of them pulled together to create a magnificent performance .I am incredibly proud that I got to be a part of it and sad that it's over , but what memories we made x
