RICHARD 3.5 - Light Ruminations on Murder

Created & performed by Eric Bass & Bob Berky

June 13-14 and June 20-21 at 8pm

Eric Bass and guest artist Bob Berky perform Richard 3.5. They showcased a work-in-progress a year ago at Sandglass. Now the finished production returns to Putney. This two-man ragtime cabaret version of Shakespeare’s famous tale of power-driven murder is a dark comedy that pulls out all the stops and blends Shakespeare with puppets, physical comedy, and contemporary political relevancy.
