RICHARD III AT SHAKESPEARE BY THE SEA
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! Shakespeare by the Sea’s stunning 24th season continues with Shakespeare’s bold and patriotic Richard III — which opens on July 16, 2021. Audience members can attend SBTS just as they used to pre-pandemic – no reservations, no ticketing, no fencing, no proof of vaccination – just show up. Bard’s Bites Boxed Picnics available for online purchase 24 hours in advance for onsite pickup. Visit SBTS for details.
Richard III will have a limited run of six performances over two weekends, and will be performed exclusively at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro. For those who are not able to attend, SBTS will be filming a performance that can be viewed online starting July 31. Audience members can get the link to the free filmed stream via the website.
The Wars of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster have finally culminated in relative peace under King Edward IV. But Richard of Gloucester has his own plans- to take the throne for himself and to become King Richard III. Ruthless and deceptive while being charming and politically astute, he murders and manipulates his way to becoming perhaps the most notorious monarch to sit the throne.
The play will be performed by a company of twelve actors comprised of a combination of returning and new artists.
