A Very Special Richard
Season 2 Episode 126
This episode features a visit from the Ghost of Mr. Shakespeare as the Bard and George attend a rehearsal of Butler University’s rap version of Richard III - Ricky 3. Mr. Shakespeare proves himself to be a most agreeable chap, and George and the Bard attend a full rehearsal of an unconventional Richard III that is both innovative and respectful of the original. This is the final podcast episode before the full run of Ricky 3 - with performances on July 21, 22, and 23, as well as July 28, 29, and 30 at Taggart Ampitheatre in Riverside Park, Indianapolis. There is no charge for what should be an incredible experience!
