The St. Louis Shakespeare Company presents Richard III. In this tragedy of seduction and betrayal, the charismatic and villainous Duke of Gloucester will stop at nothing to gain the throne of England. Richard’s lust for power leads to unspeakable acts in a brilliant rendering of politcal intrigue, treachery, and murder. As popular now as it was 400 years ago, Richard III remains one of the most alluring and repulsive characters in literature.
