Elm Shakespeare Company's 29th annual summer production, Richard III, directed by Rebecca Goodheart is anchor the company’s expanding season at the Alexander Clark Playhouse Stage in Edgerton Park. The internationally renowned theater artist Lisa Wolpe, known for her groundbreaking work on Shakespeare and gender, will return to play the title role of Richard. Wolpe's involvement brings a unique depth to the character, offering audiences a new perspective on the classic play, which will explore the role society plays in creating villains and the cost of political violence on us all. Her innovative approach to gender in theater juxtaposed to a traditional medieval setting, promises to be a production that continues Elm Shakespeare's tradition of bringing thought-provoking and accessible Shakespeare to New Haven.
