The Travesty of Richard III is one of those quirky adaptations that really stands out, especially in these pandemic times. It takes Shakespeare's classic tale of Richard Gloucester and throws it into a darkly comedic blender. The atmosphere is oddly captivating; you can almost feel the tension of lockdown mingling with the absurdity of its premise. With just two actors working from their separate spaces, it's fascinating to see them bring 13 characters to life through clever practical effects and some really inventive green screen work. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, but that's part of its charm. It explores themes of greed and grief, and somehow, it manages to keep a light-hearted twist throughout, which is quite an achievement.
Interesting take on Shakespeare's classic.Unique use of green screens and practical effects.Bizarre yet engaging performances by the two leads.
