Richard III report

Apr 18, 2003 16:52

I went to the Shakespeare Theatre production of Richard III last night; very enjoyable! Wallace Acton, who had the title part in their production of _Hamlet_ earlier this season, plays the title part here as well and did an excellent job. The rest of the cast, including such Shakespeare Theatre regulars as Floyd King and David Sabin, also does a fine job. Recommended if you like Shakespearian tragedies, though I would move quickly as this seems a popular run.

I must say that I am particularly impressed by the job Acton does in replicating the crippled, hunchbacked Richard for three hours onstage. I have a feeling he is good friends now with his chiropractor if he wasn't before.
