The Prince of Evil
Description
Despite his physical unattractiveness, Richard is a man of such magnetic charms that few suspect his evil, depraved intentions. While King Edwards lies gravely ill and his brother, Clarence, is sentenced to death, Richard plans his bloody rise to the throne. He commits a long skein of murders of legal heirs to the House of York and is crowned, but the night before a crucial battle with the Tudors, the ghosts of his many victims threaten to drive Richard to his own ruin.
In this modern take of the life and crimes of Richard III, Shakespeare's classic tale is acted out in startling and vivid detail.
A contemporary version of Richard III brings Shakespeare's famous story of power and murder to life with shocking and intense scenes.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
