King Richard III Act 2

In which a grievous sickness darkens the realm as King Edward endeavours to unite erstwhile foes in bonds of amity, yet the shadows of death and suspicion fall heavily upon his house, stirring murmurs of dread amongst his subjects. Meanwhile, tender children, widowed queens, and aged matriarchs lament the cruel fractures of kinship, while discreet councils and cautious journeys seek to preserve fragile peace amidst brewing storms.
