The bloodiest of all wars in England's history gave Shakespeare the chance to produce the bloodiest villain in all its history, but a fascinating villain... For in spite of all his physical drawbacks, he was a man of such magical and magnetic charm that few, men or women, could credit the depths of depravity he admitted only to himself. A man or sardonic wit and humor, hear him as he comments on what seems to be the arrival of peace at last with Edward, his brother, of the house of York.
