Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Director Al Pacino juxtaposes scenes from Richard III, scenes of rehearsals for Richard III, and sessions where parties involved discuss the play, the times that shaped the play, and the events that happened at the time the play is set. Interviews with mostly British actors are also included, attempting to explain why American actors have more problems performing Shakespearean plays than they do.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film was shot over four years during and around Al Pacino's filming schedule, also while he was not working on any major film projects. This is visible during the film because he is seen growing a beard and hair cut for the film Carlito's Way (1993) as one example. See more » |
| Goofs | In discussion, Pacino and co. are studying the "*G* of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be," and decide, since it's supposed to refer to Clarence, that they'll change it to "'C" of Edward's heir's." The problem is, since characters in the play are referred to both by their name and by their title, the prophecy very deliberately refers to Richard, Duke of GLOUCESTER and GEORGE, Duke of Clarence. With "G" the prophecy is true. If you change it to "C" the prophecy becomes false, and can no longer refer to two people. See more » |
