RICHARD III

The play to comment is Richard III of William Shakespeare.  The play took place of the 14 of October to the 6 of November in the theatre L'Altre Espai of Valencia. The company, the distribution, and the artistic and technical personnel we can find it in the attached pamphlet.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE:

Richard: He is the protagonist of the play.  He is the Duke of Gloucester. He is lame and handless of the left hand, has a hump and as himself defines in the play is badly-forming, an unfinished person.  He is bad, arrogant and he does not concern anything or anybody to him with so obtaining the reign.

Elisabeth Queen: is married with Edward, the king of England and Richard's brother.  Dressed in a red dress that calls the attention of the audience. She is a woman who loves her children and she would do what was so that did not pass anything bad to them.

Buckingham: he is the Richard's cousin, he is the Duke of Buckingham.  He is made ally of Richard to remove party when Richard is king.

Ratcliff: as Richard says is his left hand, since he does everything what Richard orders to him.  Assassin without mercy to the enemies of Richard

Lady Anne: a young widow because Richard kills his husband to marry with her.  She is a very sweet girl who this very in love with her husband and sad by his loss

Clarence: His name is George, is brother of King Edward and of Richard, he is condemned to die because in the prophecy said that G will kill the descendants of the King and all thought that he is because his name begin for G. He is the Duke of Clarence.  He is the nicer and the best brother of all.

Richmond: the greater enemy of Richard since he wants to marry with daughter of King and Richard also although she is his niece

Hasting: he is the first minister of England and faithful to king Edward and Elisabeth

Margaret Queen: a very rancorous old woman.  She is widow and without son because Richard killed them to put to his family in the throne.  Prophetess and cursed to everybody who has done damage to her.

SPACE: The play takes place in England but they do not have a fixed scene, in the place where they are we can imagine according to the atrezzo that it composes the scene or of the light, for example when they mount the camping in the forest the light that is reflected in the ground has forms of green leaves. as the pamphlet says:  "is a empty space, indefinite, lived by nine characters that it falls the weight of the action, the emotion and the aroma of a last but still near time".

ATREZZO: Atrezzo is made up of several objects depending where are the characters.  In the scene of the death of Anne's husband there is a tomb, when they kill to Clarens he was put in a transparent bathtub.  And is used very much a chair with form of throne.

CLOTHES:  the characters dress with clothes of epoch, adapted to their social class.  Perhaps what more emphasized was the long veil that hung of the women widows and perhaps the colour of the clothes also was suitable with the personality of each character for example Ratcliff and Richard went both of black and Clarens that was good went of white or Anne went of a pink pie that the sensation of being gives sweet and Margaret of dark dwelled black and like of death and pain

ILLUMINATION:  the illumination was composed by spotlight with the lighting system in horizontal or vertical, was three positions in horizontal and one vertical that illuminated the centre that switch on when Richard spoke to a monologue.  When the scene is in the forest the lights reflect leaves in the ground and the same it happens when they are in the tower of the castle

PERSONAL OPINION: The atmosphere in the theatre was magnify since the silence prevailed during all the play. The adaptation of the work was best and the actors really were put in their paper, so put that for example Buckingham interpreted a girl and but it gets to be by the physicist and the voice would pass through boy by the power and the force that she transmitted when acting.  The play took a little to confusion with the names and because as says the pamphlet "is a history that they themselves read and construct"
