A year or so ago, two DFW theaters in neighboring cities both performed the same play, on the same days, at the same times.  If you were willing to pay to use the Tollway, and depending on traffic, they were about ten minutes aways from each other.  I chock that up to bad timing and poor coordination (although local theater directors tell me that the vast majority of their audiences are exclusive – they don’t go to other theaters – so these kinds of scheduling issues aren’t a big deal), and both groups handled it well (at least publicly).

Creatively directed by Catherine Boniface, and innovatively reimagined and set in the sordid, dangerous world of post-war London’s gang culture, “Richard III” is a play about political power, manipulation, betrayal and deceit.

Daryll Perkins Jr.’s portrayal of Richard was excellent and perfectly evil for this tragic character. Chris Koslosky’s curses and predictions of downfall as the banished Queen Margaret was fantastic. The fighting scene between Richard (Daryl Perkins Jr.) and Henry Tudor of Richmond was realistic and tense. I’m pretty sure I held my breath for most of it. It was well choreographed, and both actors gave it their all and never missed a mark.
