"Richard III," a historical tragedy by William Shakespeare, unfolds against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses, delving into the Machiavellian machinations of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. With a hunchback and a twisted soul, Richard manipulates, schemes, and murders his way to the English throne, leaving a trail of deceit and betrayal in his wake.
The play explores themes of power, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked desire as Richard's tyrannical rise to power leads to a web of political turmoil and personal tragedy. Through the compelling narrative, Shakespeare paints a chilling portrait of a villainous protagonist whose actions shape the destiny of a nation, leaving audiences both fascinated and repelled by the dark depths of human nature.
Roundabout Productions is at 99 Brown Street, Attleboro, MA.
