QR code
"Richard III" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1592–1594 that depicts the ruthless rise to power of Richard of Gloucester. Determined to seize the English throne despite his physical deformities and lack of love, Richard manipulates, deceives, and murders his way through the royal court. He eliminates rivals, woos widows, and betrays allies in his Machiavellian quest for the crown. As bodies pile up and ghosts gather, Richard's paranoid reign
hurtles toward a final reckoning at Bosworth Field. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
