Based on Shakespeare's bloodthirsty tale of power and politics, set in 1930's in the aftemath of a vicious Civil War, this is the story of Richard, Duke of Gloucester.

Deformed since birth but possessed of a sinister cunning, the villainous pretender to the throne manipulates and murders his way to power. The bloodbath he unleashes takes it's terrible toll on family and friends until finally, with his murderous scheming out of control Richard must stand and fight one last battle.
