Description

Author: WIlliam Shakespeare
Publisher; Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1993
Condition: Softcover, Like New Little to no damages on both exterior and interior of the book


King Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular and frequently-performed plays. Janis Lull's introduction to this new edition, which is based on the First Folio, emphasises the play's tragic themes--individual identity, determinism and choice--and stresses the importance of women's roles. A thorough performance history of stage and film versions shows how the text has been cut, rewritten and re-shaped by directors and actors to enhance the role of Richard at the expense of other parts, especially those of the women.
