To my shame, I must admit to having never seen Richard III yet, and on Friday a local TV station is airing the abridged "updated" version with the setting moved to a fascist 1930s England, and the intrinsically creepy Sir Ian McKellen as Dick. From what I've seen, the script is unchanged, save for the excisions. Does anybody have any opinions on the merits, or otherwise, of this production as an introduction to R3? Cheers
