"Richard III" with Bianca Bellafiore

Divided Politics. Corrupt Politicians. Challenging Family Dynamics. Usurpation. No, we are not talking about current events, we’re taking it way back to the 1480s with King Richard III. Richard III’s life story was immortalized by William Shakespeare in 1633, but was his characterization justified? Bianca Bellafiore joins Host Talia Smith where they dissect the complicated life of one of England’s most villainized monarchs.
