RICHARD III: Richard & Anne Scene | The Public Theater

“Tony winner Ali Stroker as Lady Anne is a perfect, steely combination of dueling wit and later anger.” - Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast “Gurira is captivating as Shakespeare’s irredeemable rogue.” - David Gordon, TheaterMania Through July 17 Only! RICHARD III Directed by Robert O’Hara Tony Award nominee Robert O’Hara (Slave Play, The Public’s Barbecue) brings his sharp wit and story-telling genius to The Delacorte with a bold new production of RICHARD III. One of Shakespeare’s most indelible villains, Richard is determined to be King. Following his lust for power and the throne, he manipulates, kidnaps, and kills all who stand between him and his throne, using brilliant words and dark charm to conceal his dismantling of government and justice. This masterful dive into the muddy middle between political genius and violent power grab will open Free Shakespeare in the Park’s 60th Season with piercing relevancy and electrifying drama.
