About the Show

A chilling adaptation of the classic Shakespearean story of power, wealth, and murder.

In the year 2023, The House of York fight and come to blows in their Hamptons mansion, but these wealthy elites face a threat to their empire from within their own opulent walls. The meekest among them might end up the most intelligent if he wins the throne, an army, and his enemies’ heads.

Shakespeare gets dark in this heart-stopping drama of modern-day "royals"—the parasitic corporate elite, full of resentment and familial trauma. Set to a variety of original music and sound devised by composer and looping artist Serena Ebony Miller, Richard III tells a cautionary tale of wrongdoing and misplaced ambition.
