Part of the second half of Shakespeare’s Histories, The Queen’s Storm

A hard-won peace is not all that it seems for King Edward IV and House York, as Richard, Duke of Gloucester, sets in motion his plot to steal the crown and rid the world of any who stand in his way. Richard takes us along for the ride as he prunes the family tree and amasses a cult of followers. But old wounds refuse to heal and, in the living memory of Margaret of Anjou, the sins of the past will not easily be forgiven.
