Why people recommend it
Richard III by William Shakespeare is a famous history play that dramatizes the turbulent rise to power and subsequent brief, brutal reign of King Richard III of England. Josh Clark brought up William Shakespeare's play on an episode of Stuff You Should Know to explain how Richard III became popularly known in modern culture as an evil, villainous character. Clark noted that if listeners were not already familiar with the historical figure, his name would likely ring a bell because of the extremely famous Shakespearean tragedy. In a similar vein, Ben Bowlin discussed Richard III on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, placing the work within the broader context of Shakespeare's English history plays. Bowlin pointed out that Richard III serves as the concluding drama in a sequence of eight plays spanning from Richard II onward. Both podcast appearances highlighted the enduring cultural and historical impact of Shakespeare's dramatic interpretation, which cemented the monarch's dark reputation in the public imagination for centuries following its initial staging and publication in the Elizabethan era.
