Kansas City, MO – "King Richard III" is about a larger-than-life villain who seeks to be king at any price. It's considered Shakespeare's most popular history play and his second longest dramatic work (clocking in at nearly 3 hours). A short primer, only about 20 minutes, sets the scene each night, as KCUR's Laura Spencer reports.
