''Now is the winter of our discontent '' ( Act 1, Scene 1). In the aftermath of the bloody Wars of the Roses, the amoral and narcissistic Duke of Gloucester begins his ruthless climb to power. Through blood, terror, and tyranny, he claims the crown as King Richard III.
Dead-eyed and murderous, Arthur Hughes (The Innocents, Help) gives an exceptional performance as Shakespeare's most evil villain, Richard III. Gregory Doran's production is a beautiful traditional staging of this historical tale featuring moody sets designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis. Leaning into every fiendishly dark detail, Doran still manages to eke out brilliant bits of humor.
