| Description |
The story of the vicious, scheming hunchback who murders his way to the throne of England and is then vanquished in battle...Bell's production is set in a claustrophobic, aggressive gangster-style world. His Richard III is "morally deformed", exuding the "self-hatred" Bell sees at
Richard's core. |
