“The set of the Pearl Theater Company's production of ''Richard III,'' created by Beowulf Boritt, serves a quadruple purpose. It is a hell on earth, glowing red from underneath as if lighted by hot coals. Its crumbling back wall decorated with a lion's atrophied claw is proof of a toppled monarch. Its uneven floor suggests Richard's uneven legs and his aim to get even. And the stone plank, center stage, leads directly to a killing floor.”
