"Richard III again demonstrates the company’s ability to realize an ambitious vision. …while making the Bard relevant, fun and engaging, they’ve solidified their place among the best outdoor Shakespeare experiences in the city."
Jordan BimmNNNN, Now Magazine, August, 2012

“When you’re sitting on the sloping hillside that frames their playing area and McCooeye’s Richard has just strode past you, only to be stopped by D’Aquila cursing him from the stage, you turn and take in his gigantic frame at the top of the ridge, dimly lit by the last glow of the setting sun and you think, ‘It doesn’t get much better than this.’ If you think you don’t like outdoor Shakespeare, think again.”

When anger meets ambition, blood will pour. In a world where CEOs hold the power and nepotism is the rule of thumb, Richard III schemes and manipulates his way to the top. As he moves through the ranks, his own power becomes his downfall.
