NEW YORK -- With the bones of King Richard III having been found beneath an English parking lot, New York's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot (http://shakespeareintheparkinglot.com), a project of The Drillling Company, will present "Richard III," directed by Hamilton Clancy, this summer from Aug. 1 to 17.

Director Hamilton Clancy says, "We have known for a long time that parking lots and Shakespeare were connected. Our intention is to bring Richard III back to life in a parking lot."

Free Shakespeare in the parking lot at Ludlow and Broome Streets on Manhattan's Lower East Side is a New York tradition dating back to 1996. It has been passed down through the years to the Drilling Company, which has produced free Shakespeare there since 2006.
