Even if you have never seen a production of William Shakespeare's "Richard III" you know and probably adore some version of him. The Bard's villain of villains echoes throughout entertainment, manifesting in the likes of Tony Soprano and Walter White – antiheroes positioned in their stories as heroes.
Director Robert O'Hara ("Slave Play") additionally blurs the definition of protagonist and antagonist by casting actor and playwright Danai Gurira in the title role, a woman who embodies two of the fiercest heroes on TV and in film. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she's revered as Okoye, the fierce general of the Dora Milaje in the "Black Panther" series. She's played Michonne in "The Walking Dead" for more than a decade.
