Written around 1593, \u201cRichard III\u201d is one of Shakespeare\u2019s 10 history plays, chronicling the bloody, Machiavellian rise and short reign of Richard, Duke of Gloucester.<\/p>\n
As the play opens, Richard\u2019s brother Edward IV is king. Richard manipulates Edward into imprisoning their older brother Clarence, and then has Clarence killed. When the ailing King Edward dies, Richard stages events to ascend to the throne, imprisoning both of Edward\u2019s sons and having them killed. After he is king, Richard disposes of his wife, Lady Anne, to marry his niece Elizabeth of York. But rebellious nobles rally to the banner of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and threaten Richard\u2019s hold on the crown.<\/p>\n
Actors who plan to audition should read the play and prepare and memorize a one- to two-minute speech in verse from Shakespeare. Between 10 to 12 actors will be cast to play all the roles in the play.<\/p>\n
