Ali Stroker helps give Shakespeare’s ‘Richard III’ fresh energy

A very inclusive rendering of “Richard III” offers a unique “winter of our discontent.”

Being televised on PBS’ “Great Performances” Friday, May 19 (check local listings), the “Shakespeare in the Park” production – taped last summer in New York’s Central Park – casts female Danai Gurira (“Black Panther”) in the male title role and “Oklahoma!” Tony honoree Ali Stroker, who uses a wheelchair, as power-hungry monarch Richard’s put-upon wife Lady Anne. Sharon Washington, who was Lady Anne in a three-decades-earlier staging, appears as Queen Margaret.

“It was a very special opportunity,” the pleasant Stroker recalls. “It was always on my bucket list to do Shakespeare. It was funny, because I’d kind of started working on Shakespeare in a class and with my husband during the pandemic, when we had so much time. Then, this came along and I thought, ‘Wow! This is perfect timing.”’

Stroker enjoyed playing what she deems Lady Anne’s “many sides. In this story, she’s desperate, and Richard is so cunning ... ‘evil,’ some people might label him. Casting Richard with a woman added really cool

Ali Stroker

layers, and Danai is just fabulous. We had a great time. It was a blast every night.”

It also was a challenge, Stroker admits, since she was expecting her first child at the time. “To do a show while you’re pregnant is really special,” she reflects, “because it’s like you’re doing it with your baby.”

Though she might not be in that condition if she tackled any more works by the Bard, Stroker would like to have such acting chances: “It’s its own genre. I love musical theater, which is so heightened, and it’s the same way with Shakespeare. The language is so different from what we’re used to.”
