THEATER
Sept 12–Oct 7
Richard III Last year, the all-women crew of upstart crow collective produced an all-female adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry the VI that was so good it actually made people want to see a production of Henry the VI. I reckon they’ll have the same luck with this classic tale of throne-hungry villainy. Top-notch veteran actor Sarah Hartlett will take on the title role. RICH SMITH (Seattle Repertory Theatre, $29—$55)
