Richard III by William Shakespeare

Event Image

The machinations of the deformed villain, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, made this story of war, power, and blind ambition an Elizabethan favorite. Determined to be king, Richard ruthlessly eliminates anyone who stands between him and the throne, executing his younger brother; hastening the death of his older brother, the king; imprisoning and then assassinating his young nephews, heirs to the throne; even murdering his wife. But those who live by the sword die by the sword, and Richard faces his greatest challenge at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
