William Shakespeare’s plays weren’t always a labor for high school students; his plays were written for the masses, often with striking political commentary and uproarious physical comedy. In a new production of his Richard III, the murderous, hunchbacked king is both frightening and funny.
Forecastle Festival's taking over the riverfront and downtown. Why not head to Old Louisville instead for free Shakespeare shows this weekend?
