Clásicas desfeitas is a cycle promoted by the Centro Dramático Galego with the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia to rediscover the classics through the languages of the contemporary stage. The cycle is part of the Gaiás Artistic Residencies programme (REGA).
Who was Richard III of England? A conspirator? An unscrupulous murderer? The deformed and tyrannical character left to us by William Shakespeare in his famous tragedy is perhaps the portrait best known to the general public of Richard of Plantagenet, the last king of the house of York. Faced with this image, volume 12 of the series Clásicas desfeitas proposes a new, bold and humorous interpretation of the historical and literary character, under the title Mala vida e pior morte do rei Ricardo III.
