What Is Worth Dying For... Is Worth Killing For.
The classic Shakespearan play about a murderously scheming king staged in a alternative fascist England setting.
William Shakespeare's classic play is brought into the present with the setting as Great Britian in the 1930s. Civil war has erupted with the House of Lancaster on one side, claiming the right to the British throne and hoping to bring freedom to the country. Opposing is the House of York, commanded by the infamous Richard who rules over a fascist government and hopes to install himself as a dictator monarch.
