91桃色破解版

Directed by Rhett Luedtke, associate professor of theatre, Hope鈥檚 production of 鈥淩ichard III鈥� brings Shakespeare鈥檚 Machiavellian world to our doorstep. The play follows Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who finds himself bored and needing something to do after The Wars of the Roses have ended. His remedy? Depose his brother from the throne, rid anyone who stands in his way and convince the world that he is kind, generous and worthy of being king. Richard鈥檚 鈥渨inter of discontent鈥� becomes a quest for ultimate power as he gaslights the world while imperiling the nation. 

When asked why the creative team chose to set 鈥淩ichard III鈥� in a contemporary setting, Luedtke says, 鈥淲henever I dive into Richard III, I am equally impressed and horrified by Richard鈥檚 ability to spin facts, gaslight his community and outright deceive those around him in his quest for power. Richard鈥檚 primary skill is receiving people鈥檚 trust, despite all the evidence they have against him. Additionally, with the rise of AI technology and deep fakes, I wondered what it might look like if Richard added contemporary media to his toolkit. The design team has responded to those wonders in compelling ways that blend the ancient with the contemporary without diminishing either.鈥�
