From Leontes in The Winter’s Tale (Actors’ Shakespeare Theatre), to Banquo in Macbeth (Trinity Rep.), to Othello (Colonial Theatre, Shakespeare in the Park), to King Lear and many, many more through decades, as a teacher and director working with actors and students to bring Shakespeare’s amazing words to life on stage and in the classroom, Ricardo will talk about the vitality of these great plays and why and how they still matter today!
