Nic Dimond's lean, mean production of Richard III is anchored by a charismatic title role performance by Strawdog ensemble member John Henry Roberts and a soulful one by Jennifer Avery as Queen Elizabeth. The fine supporting cast barely fits all at once in Strawdog's tiny performance space, but Joe Schermoly's pared-down set makes the most of the claustrophobia. All in all, electrifying.
