Jealousy, manipulation, deceit... don't underestimate 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.
After the preview, the director and actors will talk about "Richard III" and their work developing this production, along with a Q&A session.
