Who was Richard III? The intrigue and mystery surrounding Richard III is often misunderstood. But, the undeniable reality is that his character forms an incredible tale- a crime thriller disguised as a history play. Richard the III, a “deformed” Duke who fancies himself the next king, will stop at nothing to get the crown. Richard oozes charisma and charm while his self-destruction brings us one of the most entertaining tragedies of all time. His story, and this very play, have inspired writers and historians through the ages, most recently in the creation of such popular television series as Game of Thrones. Come along as we see what happens when one twisted man is consumed by power and greed!
