The charmer, the villain and the intellectual tyrant whose murderous-thirst for power and influence is explored and put under the microscope in this bold retelling of Shakespeare’s most notorious psychopath; where they present you, not one Richard, but three. Set within the capitalistic 80’s where excess, toxic masculinity and the desperate desire of greed and power were celebrated, and taking dark comedic influence from everything from American Psycho to Heathers, this is Richard III as you have never seen it before.
In a world where money talks and perfection is essential, how can this less that perfect man be crowned the king? If society already views that he was born a monster, what’s to stop these monstrous thoughts from seeping into his world and becoming a reality? The egomaniacal Richards will stop at nothing to get what they desire.
Directed by Jade Allen.
