Richard III, one of Shakespeare’s most compelling characters, is portrayed by David Troughton in this audiobook adaptation. Richard, the deformed brother of King Edward IV, is driven by ruthless ambition as he navigates the treacherous landscape of power and betrayal in pursuit of the English crown.

In this powerful narrative, Richard’s ascent leads him to confront the ghosts of those he has murdered during his quest for the throne, culminating in a decisive battle at Bosworth Field against the Earl of Richmond, who will become King Henry VII. Additional performances include Saskia Wickham as Lady Anne, Margaret Robertson as Queen Margaret, and Philip Voss as Buckingham, bringing this dark tale of manipulation and ambition to life through their exceptional narration.
