Publisher's Synopsis
William Shakespeare's "Tragedy of Richard the Third" branded King Richard with a nightmare reputation. British author Robert Fripp attacks Shakespeare's interpretation by writing "Dark Sovereign" in Shakespeare's English--a first in four centuries. Fripp's "Dark Sovereign" dramatizes the genuine tragedy of King Richard III while becoming the longest play ever written in renaissance English. Fripp produced investigative television before he set out to overturn Shakespeare's verdict on Richard III.
