UPDATE: Review by ALT, August 16
Received directly:
Austin Drama Club presents
Richard III
by William Shakespeare
July 30 through Aug 22
Thursdays - Saturdays at 8 p.m.
Austin Drama Club is in the house at the corner of 7th St. East and Concho.
Richard III is directed by Julio Mella, a core member since our first production of Henry V in the winter of '06. Here Julio directs for the first time and takes the title role. His vision for the play takes its inspiration from the Mafia spirit of Mario Puzzo's Godfather books and from the black and white gangster movies from the 1930s - 1950s. ADC expects that this production will inspire more people to come see this classic that gives us some great lines including, "My kingdom for a horse!"
Julio is joined by several Austin Drama Club vets --
Jennifer Fielding (the Witch in Jessie Satura joined our company as uncle Exter in our last production of Henry V. He is from that fine Wimberly acting tradition.
Casey Allen, who will direct and star in our upcoming encore production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé. Casey has played Romeo and several supporting roles along the way since '06.
Christopher Harris is our lead in Titus Andronicus and Salomé. He played Antonio in The Merchant of Venice and Horatio in our 4 productions of Hamlet.
Erin Jo Enochs was the the star of our production of Oedipus. She played Shylock's wife in The Merchant of Venice and Desdemona in Othello.
Richard Bateman is a magician and story teller who joins the cast for his first show with Austin Drama Club. Look for him to perform his show here later this fall.
Japhy Fernandes does the lights and sets with help from his wife Ellen Fernandes.
