Guy Roberts, seen to such good effect recently as Michael Bakunin in Tom Stoppard’s Coast of Utopia trilogy at Main Street, is directing and playing the title role of the last king of the House of York — and yes, there is still much debate among scholars about whether he killed his young nephews. Talking about Roberts’s performance, Cravens said: “Guy’s going to be extraordinary; he’s digging deep into his inner creep.” MST Executive Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden is taking a turn onstage as Queen Margaret.
At the conclusion of the run in Houston, the production, along with most of the cast, will be moving over to Prague, where Roberts is in charge of an English-language Shakespeare Festival that he founded four years ago.
