Young Shakespeare presents Richard III

Written by William Shakespeare | Directed by Cynthia Florez & Ann Ciccolella

Mark your calendar for the amazing Tragedy of Richard III: containing, his treacherous plots against his brother Clarence; the pitiful murder of his innocent nephews; his tyrannical usurpation; with the whole course of his detested life, and most deserved death.
