Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival 2016: Richard III

Friday, Jul 01
Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival 2016: Richard III
SUNDAY, JULY 3RD, 7:00PM
OLD ZOO, GRIFFITH PARK
FREE & OPEN TO ALL! (DONATIONS ACCEPTED)
For over 200 years, the most produced play in the world was Colley Cibber's adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III. Through the ages, classical actors (including David Garrick and Edmund Booth) refitted it for their versions of the indelible anti-hero. Independent Shakespeare Co. pulls the best from the past and combines it with an entirely modern take for this electrified re-imagining of the tale of a man driven to pursue power by any means. MORE INFO.
