Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular historical plays. It takes place in the final years of the War of the Roses, when the first and last Yorkist kings rule England.

This includes the murder, betrayal and manipulation of family, friends and foe alike, as well as some of Shakespeare's most famous quotes.
