curling up with my pal richard iii, casual murderer and pretender to the throne
i love the way this is edited, the way it plays with the rhythms of the score

though one thing it doesn't replicate is how you CAN'T. STOP. LOOKING. AT. LARS. EIDINGER. when you see it live

the dangling mic really is a genius way to remind us that richard is our emcee and give us a sort of intimacy with his performativity #ostermeierR3
Lars's Richard is a lot angrier and more teary-eyed in this recording than I remember him being at BAM where it was a bit more deliciously evil than personally wounded

i remember finding the "omg clarence no way!" scene hilarious when i saw it live. he was so much. #ostermeierR3
anyway, i'm falling in love with lars eidinger all over again #ostermeierR3
if your marriage proposal isn't going well, you can always strip off all your clothes and ask your beloved to kill you #ostermeierR3
When did a monochrome aesthetic become so popular for Richard III? Rupert Goold did it at the Almeida in 2016, and of course, Ostermeier did it here (dating back to 2014?). #OstermeierR3
