Port Washington Play Troupe Presents - Shakespeare's Richard III - Video Premiere

Port Washington Play Troupe presents a virtual performance of Richard III, by William Shakespeare. Produced, directed and starring Michael Santora. After a long civil war between the royal family of York and the royal family of Lancaster, England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV and the victorious Yorks. But Edward’s younger brother, Richard, resents Edward’s power and the happiness of those around him. Malicious, power-hungry, and bitter about his physical deformity, Richard begins to aspire secretly to the throne—and decides to kill anyone he has to in order to become king.
