Manga Shakespeare: Richard III

“I AM DETERMINED TO PROVE A VILLAIN,” Richard III vows from the start. He seizes the English Crown by plotting the murders of his brother, his nephew and niece, the sons of his brother King Edward IV and poisoning his own wife. Richard’s defeat at Bosworth in 1485 ended the internecine Wars of the Roses and began the Tudor reign. This epic history play portrays a scheming and seductive rogue in one of the bloodiest chapters of the British monarchy.
