  I've seen many productions of R3 and this production was among the top 10! I enjoyed Paul Jennings portrayal of the beast that is Richard...the way he shamelessly goes after his desires at all costs, and he clearly enjoys his deceiving and conquering others with such ease. He has a sneaky and develish expression which was perfect for Richard...charming and wicked all at the same time. Makes for a perfect evening. Come early, bring wine, bask under the stars, and allow Richard to woo you along with the rest of the cast. Collapse

  This “Richard” is definitely worth going to see because it’s a perfectly competent production of one of the Bard’s greatest histories, but it didn’t knock my socks off. It seemed to lack the inspiration, energy, and vision of the company’s charming production of “As You Like It.” There are some amazing performances (Doll Piccotto alone is worth going to see for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth), some solid but less than thrilling (Paul Jennings’ turn as Richard was proficient, but he seemed a bit isolated in his own one-note bubble), but none that ruined the show for me, which is a plus. The costumes were wonderful (and there were so many!), but I didn’t understand why so many of the bit parts were played by women in drag rather than just making the characters female. All in all, definitely worth a look, especially at the bargain price of free :). Collapse
