<b><i>Richard III </i></b>presents a fresh take on the nature of power and the manner in which public discourse is deployed, distorted, and manipulated in our highly mediated society.

<p class="Default"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Richard III </span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.5pt">remains the world’s most popular history play, a reputation only heightened by the recent discovery of the historical king’s bones under an English
parking lot. Richard’s relentless rise to power shows that tyranny relies as much on mass-acceptance as force or manipulation, and sometimes that trajectory can be slowed by the simplest acts of resistance.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:106%">Aided by faculty, staff, alumnus and student designers,
<b>Bill Chesney </b>(Set/props), <b>Sharon E. Secord </b>(costumes), <b>Tallen Kay

</b>creates a modern world where social media, real life, and high-definition staged broadcasts vie for the audience’s attention. Set in a mediated observatory that gives Richard the power to see and be seen, this new adaptation asks what the history of the
maligned English monarch can tell us about ourselves. Is tyranny any more visible to us in the hyper mediated age of the Internet than it was in Shakespeare's time? How can we know it when we see it? And when and how should we oppose it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
