Reviews of Richard III

Our little production of Richard III at the IndyFringe building managed to cause strong responses from a number of local critics, reviewers, and general ne'er-do-wells.

FunCityFinder.com:

The Indianapolis event, Richard III, was pure camp at times, and I loved it. With clever and shocking death scenes, this new yet small Indianapolis theatre company proved that it can accomplish a lot with very little.

366 Weird Movies:

Yes, this is Shakespeare deconstructed, unplugged, and revisionist with plenty of gangsters, blood, guns, melodrama, humor, opera worthy performances, a marvelous star turn, great performances... Its high time for Indy to have some gutsy underground theater tackling Shakespeare with originality.

Fear not, we are hard at work on our next show!
 

Newsflash

From an outstanding former member of the Richard III Society, Deb Lynn Jones:

Richard III sustained several losses at the battle of Bosworth in 1485. First he dropped his crown, which was picked up by the Earl of Richmond who that evening became Henry VII; then his cook mislaid the recipe for his favorite biscuits (known ever since as Bosworth Jumbles) and later in the day Richard even lost his life!



Bosworth Jumbles

6 oz. butter
1 1/4 oz. sugar
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Sift the flour and add it to the mixture. Shape the dough into small "S" shapes and place them on a well-greased baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Makes 12 -15. (I just shape them into balls and bake.)


By the way, History has wronged him! (Just my opinion, but I'm not a purist. I do believe that, like his father, his sense of honor [self-righteousness] lead him rashly to make the fatal tactical mistake that cost him his life and the crown. )
