I haven't been able to stop thinking about the play, Richard lll, since attending the outstanding performance at the Belasco Theater in NYC www.shubertorganization.com/theatres/belasco this past Saturday. Mark Rylance, exemplifies Richard's dual personality gaining sympathy from the audience at times but remains clear he is the evil protagonist that will stop at nothing to achieve the crown of England. Plots are made and broken, brothers betrayed, leaders murdered, legends destroyed. Not bad for one play, and yet there isn't a moment during the play where you feel lost in the brilliant and sometimes funny dialogue which makes Shakespeare's characters so timeless. As the words at the beginning of the play declare, our bad days are over and we have in store more pleasant times. Hold on to your seats, you're in for a surprise!
