Displaying the bold vision and growing skill of a young playwright, these are Shakespeareās first three history plays, covering some sixty tumultuous years of English history. Their pageantry, violence, and stirring speeches excite audiences with action as well as character, and midway through the final play in this trilogy, a shocking, clever, inimitably evil new voice is heardāthat of Richard of Gloucester, destined to become Englandās most fearsome and hated ruler of all time, Richard III.
