It was a privilege to be in the audience and watch Paul Mullins become Richard lll! At intermission I realized that his was the best performance I have seen this season. By the end of the production, I had to amend that. Paul Mullins' performance was the best I have EVER seen anywhere! He was chillingly evil and the role was so demanding, I can't imagine how exhausted he must have been at the end. The entire cast was wonderful, but the night belonged to Mr. Mullins. Don't miss this play and don't miss the performance of a lifetime!!

I have seen a number of productions of Richard III, including Denzel Washington's performance for the Public Theater, but I have yet to see a Richard as fully realized as this production is. This was without doubt one of the most intelligent productions of the play I have seen. The dark cabaret elements, certain aspects of lighting, and a number of other metatheatrical elements (scenes of Richard observing another scene, Buckingham's stage direction of the commoners, etc.) reveal the director's keen insight into the way much of the play meditates on the importance of stagecraft and rhetoric for early modern english statecraft.

All of this is remarkable, but perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the play--and one I hope is not overlooked by the audience--is the crucial roles played by the four women in the play. Sadly, the theatrical history of the play suggests that women have not been well-served by most productions of Richard III. This was manifestly not the case here. Each of the four female actors contributed decisively to the action.

My one regret is that you do not tape your productions, as I would love to have a copy of this production available for future students. Congratulations on a magnificent production.
