On the night before battle, Richard III confronts his mother, his violent life, and himself.
The Head of Richard is a two-actor, 50-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III, using exclusively portions of Shakespeare's original text. This retelling from a war veteran’s perspective examines the harm done by chronic abuse and humiliation.
Created by Army veteran Stephan Wolfert, who was previously awarded the 2019 Max Gabriel Award from the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI).
