Richard (Kortney Adams [SB 2000], kneeling) tells Anne (junior Kay Sullivan) to kill him in the Shakespeare Ensemble's production of Richard III. The tale of Richard's bloody rise and fall from power continues Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 9-11 at 8pm in Kresge Little Theater. "At its heart, Shakespeare's Richard III is really an allegory warning us against placing trust in another's outward personality," says director Kurt Lancaster.
