Lars Eidinger - William Shakespeare: Richard III - staged by Thomas Ostermeier

Richard is hideous, deformed and full of hatred for the world. He exploits the ambitions of others for his own ends. With unscrupulous determination he clears away every obstacle that lies in his path to becoming king. But even this triumph fails to heal the great insult that nature has bestowed upon him. Alone at the apex of the English kingdom, he now turns his rage on his true nemesis � himself. Richard III is one of Shakespeare�s earliest works, first performed around 1593 � and the title character with his unbridled, single-minded amorality is still fascinating and compelling to this day. Staged by Thomas Ostermeier at the Schaub�hne Berlin this production is perfectly cast and features Lars Eidinger as Richard.
