The Story

Joseph R. McGee Jr. has spent his entire life preparing for this role. In the World Premiere of R3*, he brings Shakespeare’s Richard III to the stage single-handedly: star, director, creator, and puppeteer. Critics have called it ambitious. His mother has called it wonderful. What could possibly go wrong?
