JOHN BRADLEY (Sir Robert Brackenbury|Earl of Oxford): John is happy for the opportunity to participate in theater with such a wonderful group of people, even in times like these. Some of his favorite roles have included Billy Cane (Bright Star) with the RFCT, Duke Vincentio (Measure for Measure) with Northeast Stage,and Rafe Sadler (Wolf Hall) at the NFCT.

BEN EAGER (Prince Edward of Wales): Ben began acting in 2012, with the NFCT production of The King And I. He continued to do shows mainly with NFCT and RFCT for six years, some of his favorites being 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', 'Urinetown', and 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown', with NFCT, along with 'School of Rock', 'Legally Blonde', and 'Gypsy' with RFCT. In addition to being on stage, he has been in the pit, crew, and even the lighting booth, on occasion. Ben stopped doing theater to study violin in NYC, where he attended the Lucy Moses School, and participated in programs with the New York Youth Symphony. He was about to begin his freshman year at Roosevelt University's CCPA, when the pandemic convinced him to take a gap year. Ben is thrilled to be spending some of his spare time performing with his old castmates from Richard III, and hopes you enjoy this unorthodox presentation.  

TIM FERRIS (Duke of Buckingham): When Colin asked Tim to reprise his role as the Duke of Buckingham, Tim was happy to accept. Times being what they are these days, having theatre is any form is both a comfort and a joy. Tim is thrilled to be performing with all his old friends from the previous 2017 production, brought together by the wonders of Zoom. When not acting arch or stressing about what his face is doing on the webcam, Tim works as a writing professor at Suffolk Community College (over Zoom) and takes education classes at CUNY Hunter College (also over Zoom). Things that Tim has accomplished in times of COVID: read over twenty different novels, learned how to cut his own hair, and discovered that soy sauce and scrambled eggs are a disastrous combination.
