I've really been sleeping on this one, huh?

Shakespeare's histories have always intimidated me, leaving me to put off tackling them. And though I saw this play many years ago, I hadn't remembered much about it. But that must have been a fault of the production because I can't believe that this complex and stunning play could have escaped my mind. 

Comprable to Hamlet and Macbeth, Richard III is an incredible tragic historical work about cycles of violence, hubris, revenge and even ableism. Definitely worth tackling the histories for this one.
