In 2012, a skeleton was found underneath a parking lot near a church in Leicester, UK and later it was confirmed through DNA tests to be the body of the notorious Richard III, a synonym of monster and evil under Shakespeare’s pen, whom many historians and literary writers have now attempted to acquit the king of these charges.
Director WANG Chia-ming, twice Taishin Arts Award winner, revisits this Shakespearian classic play. Ever since its premier in 2015, the wild success of R3—The Life and Death of Richard III made it the most sought-after play through word of mouth. Now returning to the stage as the new version—R3: The Remix Edition, the adaptation of historical plots parallels the political bedlam of Taiwan and further challenges the credibility of history and truth.

Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group
Founded in the summer of 1995, Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group (SWSG) owes its name to the fictional character in Virginia Woolf’s novel A Room of One’s Own, meaning to liberate women’s talents from the oppression of patriarchy. Limiting itself to no specific issues or conventional aesthetics, SWSG takes materials from all arts inspiring to create original theatrical works. The company has been invited to perform in Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Shanghai, Busan, Tokyo, Berlin, Singapore, Kobe, Paris, and New York, with international performances and cultural exchanges being a centerpiece for many years.
