A ruthless Machiavellian, Richard seduces and slaughters his enemies and relatives, becoming so tainted with blood that "sin will pluck on sin." Michael Kahn directs this gripping tragedy, one of Shakespeare's earliest and most enduring successes. Geraint Wyn Davies returns to play the dazzling title role. The Baltimore Sun praises Kahn for turning the Shakespeare Theatre Company "into the closest thing this country has to Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company." The production is part of the citywide celebration Shakespeare in Washington.
There are four Canadians in this production: Geraint Wyn Davies who plays Richard III, Margot Dionne in the role of Queen Elizabeth, Donald Carrier who plays Earl Rivers and James Ricks in the role of the Second Murderer.
