Richard III
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
This Richard's an acquired taste: Jay Whittaker's a manic gargoyle ripped from the facade of a Gothic cathedral. He cackles, does a one-legged goose-step -- half a Hitler? -- and deforms all in his path. Most characters are set-ups for Richard's schemes. The able cast fleshes them out as best they can (all are well-spoken and honor the lengthy text). Directed by Lindsay Posner, the modern dress production includes concrete slabs covered with graffiti [note: runs in repertory with Inherit the Wind and As You Like It].
Worth a try.
