VIDEO: A Bloody Deed (Richard III, I.iv.) from "Free-Style Shakespea

The speaker in this video relays the story of his three teenaged godsons at Shakespeare Camp, where they were assigned to perform Richard III, Act 1, Scene iv (the murder of Clarence). The boys were determined to use special effects (i.e., a bag of blood) rather than method acting to get the scene across.

He also talks about Richard (the character), comparing him to Darth Vader and insists the play is actually a comedy. After watching the video through and laughing so hard I was crying, I was inclined to agree with him.
