Richard III
Based on the real-life monarch, Richard III is Shakespeare’s most evil and conniving character; a plotting and underhand hunchback who slays anyone who stands between him and the crown, including his own flesh and blood. Mark Rylance stars as the cruel monarch and the production features the same creative team as Twelfth Night, including director Tim Carroll, designer Jenny Tiramani, and composer Claire van Kampen. Performed by an all-male cast, the play used designs and music inspired by the original Shakespearean productions in the 16th century. Traitors, beware!
