Meet the most charismatic villain ever to command a stage - Shakespeare's Richard III—the man audiences have loved to hate for 400 years. Deformed in body and spirit, this engaging madman is obsessed with power. Driven by bloody ambition, cursed by nightmares and a chorus of queens, Richard grinds his adversaries beneath his lurching feet until he bestrides beleaguered England like a malevolent colossus. Does he fall? Of course, but not before he has taken us all on a wild and wickedly entertaining ride.
