Stopping at nothing in his evil obsession for the throne, Richard,
Duke of Gloucester, schemes and betrays, deceives and murders as he
sees fit. Rarely has Shakespeare created a character that is at the
same time so intelligent and evil, so despicable and fascinating.
In order to wrest the crown from his brother Edward IV he conspires
to have his other brother George charged with treason, arrested and
murdered. This is enough to kill the severely ill King leaving
Richard to serve as regent until the King's heirs are of age. To
strengthen his own claim to the throne Richard woos Lady Anne the
widow of the also murdered Prince of Wales. The opposition soon
forms and the last Lancastrian heir Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond,
leads an army from France against Richard. Disturbing and
enthralling, Richard III is a gripping tragedy and one of
Shakespeare's enduring successes.
