a horse, a horse! my kingdom for a horse!


i've been meaning to write this post all weekend. go out and see richard III at the Phoenix theatre, UVic. it is amazing! the lead actor that plays richard, trevor hinton, is so talented. this is not an easy character to play and he pulls it off with ease. not to mention his body is a perfectly sculpted specimen...even if he is constantly maintaining the hunched, crippled deformities.

i won't even bother gushing about the other actors, i cannot find flaw with anyone.

the dream sequence when the ghosts of those richard has killed come to haunt his sleep is so magical and eerie.

the battle of bosworth field at the end is stunningly choreographed. if you get tickets, ask for front row so you can be right in the middle of the action! that was the highlight for me.

the times colonist wrote a raving review, read it!

go and see this production, it's only on until dec 2nd. to order tickets call: 250 - 721 - 8000
