from Shakespeare and Pals: Recapping the Bard · host Shakespeare and Pals

The War of the Roses! A pacifist King, a warrior Queen, rebellious lords, and more battles than you can shake a wooden sword at. And like Revenge of the Sith, we see the rise of one of fiction’s most famous baddies – Richard III! Is this much-ignored war-story worth picking up? Michael, Greg, and Sophie find out.
