England is torn apart by the Wars of the Roses as the houses of York and Lancaster battle for the throne. The saintly but ineffectual Henry VI is deposed, restored, and deposed again, while Queen Margaret fights savagely to preserve her son's inheritance. Amidst the carnage, the hunchbacked Richard of Gloucester emerges as the most dangerous player of all, revealing his ambition to eliminate everyone between himself and the crown. Shakespeare's bloodiest history play charts the disintegration of a kingdom through treachery, revenge, and relentless violence.
