Richard III

The Lakewood Cultural Center presents The Acting Company’s production of William Shakespeare’s Richard III as part of Shakespeare
in American Communities, a 50-state, 100-community tour of Shakespeare’s plays by six of the nation’s finest theatre companies. The tour is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with The Sallie Mae Fund and Minneapolis-based Arts Midwest.

Following a long period of civil unrest, England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV; however, King Edward’s deformed younger brother Richard resents Edward’s power and vows to do anything he can to become king.
