Richard III Tickets

SoHo Shakespeare Company marks its triumphant return to in-person theatre with Shakespeare’s Richard III.

The year is 2023. The House of York quarrel and carouse in their Hamptons mansion, but these old-money elites face a threat to their empire from within their own gilded halls. The feeblest among them might prove the most cunning if it wins him what he deserves: the throne, an army, his enemies’ heads. What’s a little murder and mayhem among family?

Shakespeare gets sinister in this bone-chilling drama of contemporary "royals"—the power-hungry corporate elite, infected with resentment and familial trauma. Set to a mash of original music and sound devised by powerhouse composer and looping artist Serena Ebony Miller*, Richard III tells a cautionary tale of grievance and deranged ambition. When we feel unloved, disposed of, and disrespected, we might just kill for recognition.

Directed by Alex Pepperman
