Richard III Rebothered

The comedy trio combine history and laughs as they explore the life of much maligned 'hunchback king' Richard III. From 2020.

Rather than a conniving and treacherous hunchback, Richard was an honest and loyal warrior with only a slight spinal kink, nothing you'd notice if you weren't looking for it.

This is the story of how, through the invention of the printing press, a good man became the first victim of fake news and how the Tudor dynasty was built on a foundation of lies by the world's first spin doctor, Henry Tudor.
