Teenage Dick at Huntington Theatre

As the winter formal gives way to a glorious spring fling at Roseland High School, we enter the world of Mike Lews darkly funny, modern-day spin on Richard III. Tony Award nominee Moritz von Stuelpnagel (Hand to God on Broadway) directs this ruthless and hilarious new play about a young man who, after years of torment by his classmates for his cerebral palsy, decides to campaign for student body president. But is it better to be loved or feared? And how far will he go to realize his ambition? The New York Times cheers moving, exciting, and profoundly eye-opening.
