Brilliantly manipulative and entirely amoral, the hero-villain Richard is one of Shakespeare's greatest roles.
The Yorkists have emerged victorious from the civil wars and Edward IV wears the English crown. But Edward's misshapen brother Richard harbors kingly ambitions and will stop at nothing to achieve the throne. In a fatal battle on Bosworth Field, Richard meets the ghosts of all whom he has murdered and the Earl of Richmond, the future King Henry VII.
Richard III is played by David Troughton. Saskia Wickham plays Lady Anne, Margaret Robertson plays Queen Margaret, and Philip Voss is Buckingham.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and dramatist of the
Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known
author in all of English literature and often considered the
greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least
twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays
were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not
widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a
great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues
today.

became books like Guilty by Association, Death Rites, and Broken
Empire. She speaks three languages fluently: English, Latin, and
sarcasm. E. A. is currently studying to become proficient in memes.
