In a world of perfect peace, perfect beauty and perfect harmony, we attend to the rebellion, ascent and fall of an imperfect being, rambled of personages whose arms neither are clean.

After a long civil war, the peace arrives. Richard of Gloucester, a deformed and disabled being, he observes as his brothers enjoy power and he decides to begin a journey for snatch it.

RIII, it is a decor that it is built in an emptiness, indefinite space it occupied by nine personages to count a story counted thousand times. A story that read and build themselves. Some pieces od chess on an imaginary chess board, that  they will take up it place. A crude and real story counted by some actors about who fall  the weight of the action, the emotion and the scent of a past time, but  valid and near yet.

Personal opinion: This play of theatre I had liked quite, though I don't understand it very well. It is a story counted by some excellent actors.
