RICHARD III 
Unit 3 Playlist, Wednesday 12 May at 10.30am

Navigating the corridors of power is easy if you know how to take a few short cuts. Richard III tells the story of an obsessed man with twisted ambitions, who manipulates, marries and murders his way to the top. Set as a contemporary political thriller, this gripping production dissects the corruption of power in testing times; when peace is abandoned and enemies mount in the minds of the paranoid. Suave, calculating and brutal, meet one of Shakespeare’s greatest villains.
