Richard 3 - The Bell Shakespeare Company 2002

by William Shakespeare

Richard III is a play by William Shakespeare. It was probably written around 1593.[citation needed] It is labeled a history in the First Folio, and is usually considered one; but sometimes it is called a tragedy, as in the quarto edition.[citation needed] Richard III concludes Shakespeare's first tetralogy (also containing Henry VI, Part 1, Henry VI, Part 2, and Henry VI, Part 3); and depicts the Machiavellian rise to power, and subsequent short reign, of King Richard III of England.[1]

It is the second longest play in the Shakespearean canon; and is the longest of the First Folio, whose version of Hamlet (otherwise the longest) is shorter than its Quarto counterpart.[citation needed] The play is often abridged, and peripheral characters removed.[citation needed] In such cases, extra lines are often invented, or added from elsewhere, to establish the nature of characters' relationships.[citation needed] A further reason[clarification needed] for abridgment is that Shakespeare assumed his audiences' familiarity with his Henry VI plays, frequently referring to the latter.
