Fan CastingKing Richard III

King Richard III by William Shakespeare is a gripping historical tragedy following the ruthless rise and fall of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, during the Wars of the Roses. Deformed in body and twisted in spirit, Richard uses manipulation, deceit, and political violence to eliminate rivals—including his brother Clarence and the young princes in the Tower—and seize the English throne. His tyranny breeds fear and rebellion, ultimately leading to his downfall at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Themes include ambition, power, conscience, justice, and divine right.
