About this product
Richard is hideous, deformed and full of hatred for the world. He exploits the ambitions of others for his own ends. With unscrupulous virtuosity he clears away every obstacle that lies in his path to becoming king. But even this triumph fails to heal the great insult nature has visited upon him. Alone at the apex of the English kingdom, he now turns his rage on his true nemesis - himself. InchRichard IIIInch is one of Shakespeare's earliest works, first performed around 1593. But until this day the title character with his unbridled, single-minded, gleefully exhibited amorality has lost none of his fascination. Staged by Thomas Ostermeier at the Schaubühne Berlin this production is perfectly casted with a selected team and a compelling Lars Eidinger as Richard.

Audacious treatment of Shakespeare's history-co-adapted by lead Ian McKellen and director Richard Loncraine-shifts the action to an alternative-history, fascistic 1930s Britain, and follows the calculating Richard as he removes the male relatives standing between him and the crown. Effective take co-stars Annette Bening, Robert Downey, Jr., Kristin Scott Thomas, Maggie Smith, Jim Broadbent. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English stereo; Subtitles English.
'Conscience is but a word that cowards use' - Young Richard of Gloucester uses the chaos of the Wars of the Roses to begin his unscrupulous climb to power. Despite being manifestly unfit to govern, he seizes the crown as King Richard III. But how does he do it? How do we let tyrants get away with it? How do they find their way to power? Why do we buy into it? And how can it be stopped? Richard III is a savagely comic analysis of the exercise of power. It reminds us both of the dangers of tyranny and of our duty not to let it go unchecked. Directed by Gregory Doran and featuring Arthur Hughes as Richard, this is the thrilling climax to Shakespeare's first great history cycle.
