Full cast and creative team have been announced for Classic Stage Company’s production of William Shakespeare’s Richard III, to run November 1-December 9, with an official opening slated for November 13. As previously announced, the production will reunite star Michael Cumpsty in the title role and director Brian Kulick (the company’s artistic director), who have previously collaborated on Hamlet and Richard II.

In addition to Cumpsty, the cast will feature Craig Baldwin, Steven Boyer, Philip Goodwin, Chad Hoeppner, Paul Lazar, Roberta Maxwell, KK Moggie, Michael Potts, Maria Tucci, and Graham Winton. The show will feature sets by Mark Wendland, lighting by Brian Scott, and costumes by Oana Ban-Botez.

In addition to his work at CSC, Cumpsty’s New York stage credits include Democracy, The Constant Wife, Enchanted April, 42nd Street, and 1776. He will appear later this season in the Roundabout’s revival of Sunday in the Park With George.
