Koning Richard de Derde by William Shakespeare
QR code
"Koning Richard de Derde" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1592-1594. It follows Richard of Gloucester's ruthless and manipulative climb to the English throne. Through murder, deception, and betrayal, the deformed Richard eliminates anyone standing between him and power—including family members. As he schemes his way to becoming king, the ghosts of his victims haunt him, and his tyranny ultimately leads to rebellion. This dark tale explores ambition, villainy, and
the corrupting nature of power in medieval England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
