History, Gossip, and Painless Shakespeare: King's Games, The Commentaries, brings to life the personalities and events leading to the fall of the last Plantagenet king of England, Richard III. In a series of historical and personal essays, the playwright condenses a lifetime of study into an easily understood overview of a tumultuous period of English history, as well as the creation of the modern verse play, King's Games, A Memoir of Richard III.

This is a comprehensive guide and reference resource containing three diverse types of timelines: an entertaining essay overview focused on the principal participants; a list of primary military confrontations; and a year-by-year, month and day, breakdown encapsulating significant, influencing events from 1400 A.D. to Bosworth Field. The playwright also shares the principles of reading and spoken delivery of iambic pentameter, illuminates Shakespearean hatchet jobs, and the always fascinating private (if not astonishingly short-sighted) peccadilloes of royalty
