Notice: this information is for a past event.
The Department of Theatre presents “Richard III,” by William Shakespeare, directed by Geoffrey Nelson. The play takes place at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26, and 27, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 28, and at 8 p.m. from Wednesday, March 2, through Saturday, March 5.
Richard III is perhaps Shakespeare’s most brutal depiction of ends-justify-the-means politics in action. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, intends to clear his way to the crown. Standing in his way are brothers, uncles, nephews, widows — in short, all manner of obstacles to be removed. He sets about these tasks with a vengeance.
