Théâtre : Richard III

William Mesguich reinvents a great baroque Shakespeare
baroque Shakespeare, effervescent, poetic and cruel.
One of Shakespeare?s greatest tragedies! A fascinating play about the rise and fall of Richard III, the last king of the House of York in the 15th century, as the War of the Roses drew to a close. His accession to the throne of England was paved with the corpses of his rivals: brothers, nephews or wives, anyone who got in his way was eliminated for good.
As in Othello or Macbeth, hubris reigns from the heights of his impressive stature, sweeping away bodies and consciences in a relentless bloodbath.
Ages 14 and up.
