The Tragedy of King Richard III

By: Shakespeare, William

Richard III belongs to Shakespeare's folio of King Richard plays, and is the longest of his plays after Hamlet. It is classified variously as a tragedy and a history, showing the reign of Richard III in an unflattering light. The play's length springs in part from its reference to the other Richard plays, with which Shakespeare assumed his audience would be familiar. These references and characters are often edited out to create an abridged version when the play is performed for modern audiences.

“FIRST MURDERER Remember our reward when the deed’s done. SECOND MURDER Zounds, he dies: I had forgotten the reward.” My favorite Movie version is an adaptation of “Richard III” (1995) starring Ian McKellen. ISBN13: 9798578384059** refers to *The Tragedy of King Richard III* by William Shakespeare, published independently on **December 30, 2020**. It’s listed as a paperback edition, but with no credited editor, introduction, or scholarly apparatus. The text is authentic Shakespeare, likely pulled from a public domain scan. No indication of source edition—quarto, folio, or later imprint remains unspecified. No editorial framing, footnotes, or provenance metadata. Expect utilitarian production—basic typesetting, variable paper quality, and no performance-ready formatting. It’s suitable for archival reference or casual reading, but not ideal for scholarly annotation or theatrical prep.
