Riccardo III / 19957.820 voti

Inghilterra, agli inizi del 1930, una sanguinosa guerra civile culmina con l'uccisione del re Enrico. Il suo successore Edoardo (marito della regina Elisabetta e padre di due maschietti e una bambina) ha due fratelli: Clarence e lo storpio Riccardo. Quest'ultimo ha messo a punto un piano per eliminare il re e i suoi legittimi eredi. Dopo avere eliminato Clarence, ne comunica la morte a Edoardo che, sconvolto per l'assassinio e già malato, muore d'infarto. Riccardo, che mira inizialmente alla reggenza e poi al trono, ha creato un piccolo gruppo di cospiratori (tra cui il Primo Ministro Hastings e lo spregevole duca di Buckingham) che gli consentono d'uccidere il conte Rivers, fratello d'Elisabetta e il giovane principe Enrico. Ora l'erede legittimo è il principe di Galles, che Riccardo fa venire a Londra insieme al fratellino. I due vengono relegati nella torre del castello e poi, su ordine di Riccardo, vengono strangolati dal suo sicario di fiducia, il terribile James Tyrell.

Riccardo III / 19557.47 voti

Laurence Olivier attore e regista si prende il gusto di rifare da par suo il gobbo Riccardo di Gloucester, divenuto re d'Inghilterra attraverso una serie forse ineguagliata di ammazzamenti di consanguinei. Dopo aver fatto uccidere i fratelli e i loro eredi, Riccardo viene affrontato dal giovane conte di Richmond e sconfitto in battaglia: non gli serve lanciare a combattimento quasi concluso il fatidico grido: "Un cavallo, un cavallo per il mio regno".

Almeida Theatre Live: Richard III / 2016

The Almeida Theatre makes its live screening debut with an explosive new adaptation of Richard III, directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold with Ralph Fiennes as Shakespeare’s most notorious villain and Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Margaret. War-torn England is reeling after years of bitter conflict. King Edward is ailing, and as political unrest begins to stir once more, Edward’s brother Richard – vicious in war, despised in peacetime – awaits the opportunity to seize his brother’s crown. Through the malevolent Richard, Shakespeare examines the all-consuming nature of the desire for power amid a society riddled by conflict. Olivier-winning director Rupert Goold’s (Macbeth, King Charles III) searing new production hones a microscopic focus on the mythology surrounding a monarch whose machinations are inextricably woven into the fabric of British history.
