Boston Court Performing Arts Center

So I was here with a friend who wanted to watch RII.  I'll have to admit that I'm not much into Shakespeare but I can appreciate the three actors who managed to portray different characters.  You have to appreciate an actor and their craft when their set is at a minimal, and their costumes are as well and yet you can observe and appreciate the subtleties of character change with a slight mussing up of hair, an injured arm, a scarf that becomes an indication that the actor that was to be king is now queen, or the actor who was the uncle now becomes the priest or abbot.
The small theatre is small and intimate.  The seating is comfortable and the place is well ventilated. Thank god as sometimes being at a stuffy place can be so unbearable. Once again, great venue and really great actors.

I just saw Alcestis a few months ago and it was amazing! I can't wait to see Rll.

Just saw R II at a preview performance.  Wow!  Mind blowing!  Absolutely fabulous production.   Others will chime in soon after this play opens this Saturday.

I couldn't believe how easy the theater was to attend:  Free parking within yards of the stage, tons of dining and fun around the venue.   Come early and find a happy hour.

The performance was world-class in every way:  marvelous script (by Shakespeare);

a brilliant and ambitious production that relies on only three actors to build the entire story;

intense modern lighting and staging ;  

and finally, great performers who pull off a challenging and difficult spectacle with two of them playing multiple roles, and all of them presenting a dazzling spectrum of likenesses and feelings.  

In one brief scene in the epic:  Imagine a fortress castle being stormed by a vast army and its defeated guardian being executed at dawn by an usurping prince - all in three minutes with three people and sound and language on a stage the size of a tennis court.  Yes, it really happened and I can't believe what I just saw.   Head spinning.

I'm still shaking all over from the thrill ride performance of Richard II like I've never seen before.   A must see for certain for anyone who loves Shakespeare.
