It is known for its dry, fatalistic sense of humor, and explores themes including free will versus fate, and the idea of an anti-hero who the audience is inclined to root for even as they do horrible things to keep power. Unlike many of Shakespeare’s tragedies, the play does not include much violence, with only the title character dying on-stage and all other fatalities happening off-stage. Depicted as a mad hunchback, Richard III is one of Shakespeare’s most iconic villain protagonists alongside Macbeth. Based loosely on real events, it depicts the rise to power and short but brutal reign of King Richard III of England. Richard III is a play by English playwright William Shakespeare, first performed around 1592, among the most famous of his historical dramas.
