We love to hate Shakespeare's Richard III, but what do we know about this most infamous of English kings? Did he have a hunched back? Was he a tyrant and a murderer? In a presentation featuring Britsburgh member Andy Kirtland and Felicia Perez of the Youth Shakespeare Society of Pittsburgh, we will compare what we know of Shakespeare's character and the historical King that inspired him. Discover some facts, and fictions, ahead of the Youth Shakespeare of Pittsburgh's upcoming production of Richard III. We will be joined by Izabella Wolfe the plays director to let us know what you can expect at the show. Come and make friends, or enemies, with Richard.

Meet us in the English Nationality Room in the Cathedral of Learning at 3pm on Sunday 09 March for the talk (and across the street for a pint after). The event is free, but space is limited. Please register at www.britsburgh.com.
