The Walking Dead has many heroic characters, including Danai Gurira’s Michonne. From the start, she was a badass, and her presence is missed in the series. Deadline reports that Gurira will portray a villain on the stage in a production of Richard III.

Gurira will portray the titular character in an amazing gender-bending role. It will be amazing to see her take on this character, which will undoubtedly be impactful. This production is part of the Free Shakespeare in the Park series held in New York’s The Delacorte Theater in Central Park and will be directed by Robert O’Hara.

No stranger to the stage, her other stage presence includes Measure for Measure, a 2011 Shakespeare in the Park production, and her Broadway debut in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone in 2009.

Free Shakespeare in the Park is celebrating its 60th year in 2022, with Richard III and As You Like It as the two features this year. The theater needs to be revitalized, and anyone can be a supporter with many ways to give to continue the tradition of free events.
