6/27/2023 0 Comments Richard 111 by william shakespeareShakespeare’s most adored and reviled villain is instantly recognizable in this new GRADS production of Richard III. The design will blend the excess of contemporary culture with the best flourishes of Elizabethan eclecticism. Clarity is the name of the game in this production, so that audiences can realise the sumptuous creativity that exists within the play. Audiences can expect a quick-witted and high energy approach that captures the imagination and enlightens the verse. This production reveals a monarchy more akin to the Sopranos than the Windsors. In the unique surrounds of UWA's New Fortune Theatre, a large cast will explore a play renowned for its dark humour and ironic tragedy as well as its stark commentary on the motives and manipulations of those who we empower to lead our society. 5 Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruisd arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful. As the smoke clears, Richard Gloucester, the self-professed deformed son bitterly dismissed by his triumphant family, unleashes his bloody ambition upon the royal line to seize that which should be his – the Crown. Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. RICHARD III Why, I can smile and murder while I smile England has been broken by relentless civil strife between the families of Lancaster and victorious York.
