Richard III

Richmond makes his appearance as a giant blonde avenging angel in a video projection on the iron curtain… the hatred will not end after Richard’s death, that becomes clear. – FAZ

These are uncertain times. No one knows what tomorrow will bring: who will rule, who will be overthrown? Richard, Duke of Gloster, doesn’t just want to be a pawn in the game. He wants to be the decisive player. The victor over all.
