HISTORICAL DRAMEDY
Think
you know the story of Richard III? This is a revisionist look at one of England's
most notorious kings, packed with comedy, gambling ghosts, an overworked executioner,
and sportscasted battles! Remaining as close to the historical facts as possible, Kynges Games chronicles the major events in Richard's life and offers a
workable theory regarding one of England's major mysteries.
