Performance Dates: March 17, 2017 to  March 31, 2017

Power, Intrigue, Politics, Murder

Shakespeare’s historical tragedy is re-envisioned as a chamber Dream Play, played by four women. Richard’s seductive machinations play out in an intimate, shadowy world of delights and despairs. Mothers mourn their children’s destruction, wives grieve their husband’s deaths, as Richard draws the other characters into her world, “capering nimbly in a lady’s chamber” all the way.
