Antonio Latella directs Richard III, Shakespeare’s iconic portrayal of ruthless, deformed evil. But in this staging, it’s not the Duke of York’s twisted body that takes center stage, but the power of language—charming, seductive, and deeply transgressive. The darkest side of every character, cleverly manipulated and sweetened by Richard himself, gives rise to a deceptive Eden, woven with sensual intrigues and dangerous liaisons. This ultimate Villain’s true goal is not merely power, but domination over the feminine. His is a brutal, blind pursuit—one that will ultimately be brought to an end by a woman. Vinicio Marchioni stars in the title role, joined on stage by Silvia Ajelli, Anna Coppola, Flavio Capuzzo Dolcetta, Sebastian Luque Herrera, Luca Ingravalle, Giulia Mazzarino, Candida Nieri, Stefano Patti, Annibale Pavone, and Andrea Sorrentino.
