Seattle Shakespeare hosts a free livestream Richard III on Thursday, October 29 at 7:30 PM (Pacific). This brand-new audio-only encore presentation revisits the upstart crow collective 2018 production of Richard III and features most of the original cast. A brief Q & A session will follow the event.
In Shakespeare’s Richard III, everyone underestimated the last son of the mighty royal York family. Richard is as charming as he is cunning. Through scheming and seducing (and a few murders along the way), Richard secures the crown for himself…but can he hold it? Attempting to thwart his ill-gotten rise to power are some potent women who envision hope for their country in a new generation of leaders. This gripping portrait of a cunning villain’s rise and fall from power features a diverse female and non-binary cast.
