on


It was the first night of previews for David Tennant's Richard II at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon last night. Reviews won't come in until Press Night on 17th October - which is the play's official opening night - so until then we're taking a quick look at the Twitter reaction to the first preview.

 From the audience:

 : Greg Doran's Richard II is, as expected, exceptional. Lucid and thrilling with Tennant an absolute joy.

 : The first performance of Richard II was exhilarating. David Tennant was electrifying. Greg Doran works his magic again.

 : The set is amazing and the stage is lower. Why couldn't it have been that height for the summer season.

: Richard II was amazing! David Tennant was phenomenal!

: RII good so far. Great set. Nigel Lindsay superb as is OFD. David Tennant conveying Richard's weak character well.

 : I've seen a few productions of RII but this is by far the clearest and most compelling so far.

 : epic fantastic and believable. David portrayed the character of Richard with passion logic and pure talent xx

 Some of the cast also took to twitter:
 1st preview done! What a reception. David Tennant was absolutely stunning tonight as was the rest of the gang. Humbled.

 Great first preview on Richard II. D Tennant flying. Thanks for all your lovely tweets. Hard to move this am. Do I have to do it again?

And fans were thrilled that David kindly appeared at the stage door to sign for them last night:
