Fourth in line for the Throne of England, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, uses his cunning intelligence, fearsome charm, and political wit to overthrow all rivals that stand between him and the ultimate power. One of the great villains of literature, Richard deftly manipulates his victims with fear, humor, and style bringing the audience along as accomplices to his worst crimes. A striking study of politics, power, and the ambition needed for both, Richard III will make you enjoy the horrible and cheer for the scoundrel – until you don’t.
