RICHARD III

David Garrick as Richard III

Geoffrey Nelson will be the guest director for Shakespeare’s Richard III at Denison University next winter.

Nelson’s previous Shakespearean productions have included Measure for Measure, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Taming of the Shrew.

He also spent four seasons as an actor with Shakespearean companies in Maine (The Theatre at Monmouth) and Montana (Shakespeare-in-the-Parks). Among his Shakespearean roles are Cassius in Julius Caesar, Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Justice Shallow in The Merry Wives of Windsor and Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing.

He has also played Polonius in a modern-dress film adaptation of Hamlet (see earlier post here).
