The Daughter of Time is a reimagining of Tey's genre-defining novel – ranked No.1 in the British Crime Writers’ Association’s list of the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time – that follows Inspector Alan Grant as he investigates the true story behind King Richard III’s reputation as a villain while recovering in a hospital. He uses his skills to challenge the story that Richard murdered his nephews, the Princes in the Tower.
The strictly limited run of this new play will run from 18 July to 13 September.
