Richard III written by William Shakespeare performed by Robert Stephens, Dame Peggy Ashcroft , Jeremy Brett and Ian Holm on Cassette (Unabridged)

A Genius Performance by Ian Holm, Robert Stephens, Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Jeremy Brett, Michael York, Cyril Cusak and Nigel Davenport!

This production of Shakespeare's classic tragedy is the best we have heard!

In very short supply and only just in front of the Naxos - Kenneth Branagh production "Richard III" is sequel to the three parts of "Henry VI" in which Shakespeare dramatised the Wars of the Roses. In writing the play, Shakespeare saw something behind the events of history, for "Richard III", though partly a straight dramatisation of history, is also a comment on it and an understanding of its significance.
