The image of the hunchbacked king continues to attract the titans of the acting school: first of all, Kevin Spacey (from the play by Sam Mendes) and Benedict Cumberbatch (from the series "The Empty Crown") are mentioned in the role of Richard. In the new production of the artistic director of the London theater "Almeida" Rupert Gould, the bloody monarch is played by the inimitable Ralph Fiennes - Eugene Onegin and Voldemort, Heathcliff and Bond's M, a virtuoso of acting technique who played, it seems, all Shakespeare - from Romeo, Hamlet and Richard II to Coriolanus, Mark Antony and Prospero - and finally got the role the last Plantagenet. Fiennes, like no one else in the modern theater, manages to combine genius and villainy - as well as rage, pride, vanity and contempt for the whole world - and this is how Shakespeare wrote his Richard.
