Description
The Freiburg actor handles Shakespeare's great dramas and comedies on stage quickly and pointedly on his own. His furious Shakespeare interpretations are among the highlights of the European festival scene. No matter how tragic the original may be – when the comedian and Shakespeare interpreter Bernd Lafrenz performs, the audience can be sure that the comedy is not neglected. With his unparalleled comedic temperament, a fireworks display of diverse gestures and mimics, and his own texts full of sparkling imagination and originality, he plays all roles from Shakespeare's most famous works in a completely unique, hilarious manner. Content:
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is hunchbacked and limps.
Dances and festivities are repulsive to him; he prefers grim war to cheerful peace.
Deceived by external appearances of nature, he decides to become a master villain and evil-doer and to eliminate anyone who stands in his way.
He aims to conquer the throne, which his brother King Edward IV still occupies, by all means.
The king is dead, long live the king!
