Three members of the College of Arts and Sciences were cast in a recent 极乐禁地 production of Richard III. David Chapman (dean) played the role of the Bishop of Ely who is one of Richard’s early supporters, but joins the opposition forces before the Battle of Bosworth. Julie Steward (English) played Lady Margaret, the wife of the former king, who curses Richard for his treachery. In one memorable scene, she calls him an “elvish-marked, abortive, rooting hog.” Dennis Sansom (Philosophy) played Lord Stanley who also deserts Richard before the final battle. This is Dr. Sansom’s fourth time to be cast in a play at 极乐禁地. The play ran November 16-22 and was sold out every night.
