"Richard has a lot of seduction inherent in him," she says. She says she "can play with the seduction of Buckingham" a major male character, as well as with a feminine side.

Monteleoni also plays Richard, in the first part of the play. He says that "it's scary to start the play off" as Richard and then pass off the character to someone else.

He says the three actors did not work together while developing their characters.

"It's really interesting to see the different takes on the Richards," he says.
