Description
Shakespeare's final drama of the Wars of the Roses cycle begins with the dust settling on England after bloody civil war. The stage is set for Richard, a brother of the king, to secretly plot his way to the throne. This is a story of power, manipulation, and the darker side of human nature.
A complex and duplicitous character, Richard is a master of words and a ruthless leader, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. This is a chilling portrayal of the temptations of power in a land still reeling from war.
Edited by E. A. J. Honigmann and introduced by Michael Taylor, this edition of Richard III offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's final play. Used and recommended by the National Theatre General Editor Stanley Wells, this is a valuable addition to any Shakespeare collection.
