It’s 1742 and the world’s most brilliant actor, David Garrick, prepares for his opening night of Shakespeare’s Richard III. For rising star Susannah, tonight is her first ever Shakespeare performance… but unfortunately she doesn’t understand a word! Was Richard III really a horrid hunchback? And who would be silly enough to fight a war over a couple of roses?
As an expectant audience takes its seats, grumpy Garrick and his long suffering dresser Bert have just minutes to give Susannah the real low down on England’s goriest power match: the Yorks vs. the Lancasters.
A brand new breakneck, irreverent and hilarious history of the Wars of the Roses, from the writer of international stage hit Horrible Histories: the Ruthless Romans.
