Richard III. Young Actors in Training
Description
Recounting the brief rule of England's last Plantagenet monarch, Shakespeare created a deformed and despicable antihero - but one with remarkable appeal as well. This program follows an exploration of Act IV, Scene 2, in which the would-be king plots the murder of his nephews in the Tower, then severs ties with his oldest friend, the Duke of Buckingham. As they rehearse, perform, and discuss the scene, several British drama students arrive at realizations concerning Richard's magnetism as well as his malice. After all, who doesn't love a brilliantly played bad guy? Part of the series Training for Shakespeare: Young Actors' Workshops at the Globe Theatre.
