About the Play

A blood-soaked tale of ambition, betrayal, and one man’s ruthless rise to the throne. Richard, a cunning and silver-tongued villain, stops at nothing—murdering brothers, seducing widows, and spinning webs of deceit—to seize the English crown. As bodies pile up and allies turn to enemies, his grip on power grows ever more precarious, leading to a climactic battlefield reckoning. Ghosts whisper vengeance, loyalties shift like shadows, and treachery lurks at every turn. In the end, Richard’s own cunning may be his undoing, proving that even the most brilliant serpents can be crushed beneath the weight of their own wicked schemes.

Richard III is the last installment of GreenStage’s productions of Shakespeare’s eight history plays that began in 2017 with Richard II, and included both Henry IV plays, Henry V, and all three Henry VI plays.
