A história do final da Guerra das Rosas e do rei Eduardo III é fascinante nessa peça montada de forma maravilhosa por Shakespeare.
 Uma trama cheia de intrigas, reviravoltas, com diálogos ricos e muito fluída, é uma das grandes peças do autor e indispensável para quem quer conhecer mais sobre sua obra.
 Incrível.

One of the greatest intros of all time, and it's written by a bald man for a melodramatic crybaby with a hunched back who loses his kingdom for a horse.

For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground / And tell sad stories of the death of kings—

Not to be like "hell yeah" about a play that almost everyone on this website seems to be confusing for the other one, but unfortunately that's the exact type of person I am. Thus: hell yeah.

Read along with the (excellent) BBC Radio adaptation.

We see the shipwreck coming, but the danger is unavoidable now because we sat by and allowed all this to happen.
