- The last lines of richard III. I'd love to see that play performed. It must be amazing on stage.
- Back from the play. Now I like Richard III.
- I'm studying Shakespeare's Richard iii about King Edward and his brothers. This is such a depressing play!!!
- Lord of the Flies is way more interesting than Richard III, no offense to you Sir William Shakespeare but your play is kind of boring.
- Kenneth Branagh would have made an excellent Richard III. Why was he Hamlet instead? (He did play Iago, though, in Othello. That's good. :>)
