Thank you, Shakespeare, for a great example of character assassination. The noble King Richard the Third deserves reparation. And now.
Wart Kamps removes the shameful falsification of history from the books and finally shows the real Richard. Heavily scarred and hurt, he fights free from the five-hundred-year-old lie in which he is locked up. A performance about how history became fiction and fiction became history. About how reputations continue to haunt you… long after your death.
The Good Richard III is Wart Kamps’ first solo performance in which he enters Shakespeare’s universe in his own unique way, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes emotional, sometimes humorous, and then serious again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
