Richard III

by William Shakespeare
After a long civil war between the royal families of York and Lancaster, England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV and the victorious Yorks. But Edward’s younger brother, Richard, resents Edward’s power and the happiness of those around him. Malicious, power-hungry and bitter about his physical deformity, Richard aspires secretly to the throne. What follows is murder, mayhem and—believe it or not—romance. Richard III is one of Shakespeare’s most terrifyingly brilliant villains. Thoughtful, poetic and action packed, Richard III is considered great theatre by both fans of the Bard and those who enjoy a political thriller of the first order.

Thoroughly Modern Millie is a Tony Award– winning musical that tells the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love—a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the work- force. Set in the flapper era, this charming tale of discovery and endurance has become a global hit.
