Richard III (DUB HU, SUB RO)

“My kingdom for a horse!” – This is one of Shakespeare's most famous lines, spoken at the end of the play Richard III. Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, is determined to seize the throne of England at any cost. To him, peace is dull. He masterfully weaves an increasingly intricate web of lies, ensnaring everyone who stands in his way. He revels in playing the role of the villain and laughs even when his mother curses him. In his ruthless schemes, he continuously draws in the audience, making them witnesses to the rise and fall of an unmatched tyrant.
