Richard III's Director Justin Chapman (at right) leads the cast in a question/answer session after the opening night performance.I certainly don't know much about Shakespeare, but I knew enough that "Richard III" would prove one interesting play (plus we wanted to see what Mariana Seda was up to). I was not disappointed! The reign of Richard III is the bloody template for political theater to the present day. Brian Harrower (with fedora) is one twisted king. Long live the king (if he is able)!
Jeffrey Lloyd Heatherly (at left) talked about how he uses language rhythms to help memorize lines, and how learning Shakespeare is different than other plays because the rhythms are already built-in into the script by William Shakespeare. Other actors, such as Nina Breton (Queen Margaret - red slacks at left) concurred, and talked about what excellent word choices were made by Shakespeare, how natural the speech rhythms feel, and how rich the language is.
