Richard III
A murderous excitement for your British throne sees Richard III (Ian McKellen) descend to insanity. England has been torn by civil war, split between your rivaling houses of Lancaster and York though the atmosphere is transposed into the 1930s. Richard aspires to a fascist dictatorship, but must first get rid of the barriers to his ascension -- among them his brother, his nephews and his brother's wife (Annette Bening). Whenever the Duke of Buckingham (Jim Broadbent) deserts him, Richard's plans are endangered.
