Richard Three

In this new work centred on disability and inspired by Shakespeare, we find ourselves in the winter of our discontent as a multi-versal collision brings two ideologically opposing Richards of Gloucester face-to-face. Both Richards must collaborate through this once-in-a-lifetime cosmological event to secure the crown. Alex Bulmer (Perceptual Archaeology) and Alexia Vassos (Pink Is In) take on the roles of the opposing Richards as they challenge tropes and analyze alternative perspectives in Patricia Allison’s piece influenced by the bard’s history play, Richard III and its king’s controversial rise to power.
