Richard III

One of Shakespeare’s greatest hits, the conclusion of his Wars of the Roses histories, this entertaining, horrifying, energetic play is as popular now as it was 400 years ago. Chesapeake Shakespeare’s production will transport the setting from medieval England to World War I. Staying true to the original Shakespeare text, the show incorporates the historic ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute, which was used during the Great War as a hospital for wounded World War I soldiers.
