 Live from the 15th
century, King Richard the Third will perform
11 murders, sing 7 songs that Shakespeare never
meant to write, and respond to wax puppet versions
of his victims created from giant candles by his
Emcee accomplice. They will dance and sing their way
into your hearts through this cabaret version of
Shakespeare’s famous tragedy! See Richard in a rare
television interview. See him recount for you (and
you only) the extent of his prowess at annihilation.
Shakespeare, Berky and Bass collaborate to bring you
a night of blood and guts. As Richard interacts with
each of the characters he murders – the mere
"puppets" in his hands to be molded as he sees fit –
he learns that their spirits, once released, cannot
be silenced. The relationship between the actor and
the puppet begs the question: if the human seeks
only the material, can the seemingly material
contain true humanity?
Richard 3.5 is a
collaboration between Sandglass Theater's
Eric Bass and award-winning physical comedian
Bob Berky. See
