NETFLIX star Matthew Duckett is to play the role of Richard III in next year's Stafford Shakespeare production.

The actor, who recently appeared in Lady Chatterley's Lover on the streaming service, has a wealth of acting experience on stage and screen, including a spell at the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The Gatehouse show is being directed by Richard Cheshire, who also oversaw this year's production of Hamlet.
