●解説
シェイクスピア初期の傑作で、稀代の悪党とされるリチャード三世が主人公。16世紀前半のマキャベリズムに影響を受けた専制君主を目指して、権謀術数に長けた人物が「目的のためなら手段を選ばず」権力欲を振り回す話。
この「リチャード三世」は、「ヘンリー六世」三部作に続く、シェイクスピア「第一・四部作（薔薇戦争もの）」の最後を飾る作品であるため、上演する際も組み合わせられることが多く、イギリスではバートン&ホール、映画ではローレンス・オリヴィエ、本邦でも木下順二が一連の劇を合成させており、本稿でも一部「ヘンリー六世」の筋書きや台詞を採り入れている。
なおシェイクスピア原典ではエドモンドが末子とされているが、クィーチ版では史実通りリチャードが末の子に修正されている。またリチャード三世は、史実ではこうした残虐な人物ではなかったという説もある。
