ABOUT THIS PLAY

"What savage drama, what dark humor and what lurid beauty … Start with the compelling performances of the consistently strong ensemble, led by (Chameleonic, snaky, spidery, foxy…) Ian Short in the conniving title role … let yourself be seduced by the striking movements … Did I mention the hilarious puppetry?"

– Michael Grossberg, Columbus Dispatch

Available Light Theatre, winner of both the 2009 Columbus Alive Readers’ Poll and the 2010 GCAC Artistic Excellence Award, takes on Shakespeare for the first time with The Life and Death of Richard the Third, starting November 11. Witness one of the bard’s funniest, juiciest epics and watch Richard of Gloucester, England’s most unlikely candidate, lie, cheat, and steal his way to the crown in this glammed-up, remixed production.
