HUST is headed to Chicago!
For a quick overview, summary, etc., check out Wikipedia's link on
Richard III or the Chicago Shakespeare Company's own
information on the play. For a general Shakespeare resource page, go
here.
Richard III is one of several histories that Shakespeare wrote about England's past (specifically, the War of the Roses). There is even a
Richard III society (our very own Professor Hicks was a member!) dedicated the study of the events and figures of this historic period.
