    “ A hilarious short play that will appeal to Shakespearean fans of all ages. A great crossover between two of the greatest characters to ever grace the stage. Incredibly well done! ”

    “ With heightened language true to Shakespeare, this is a very cool, very short drama about Richard III convincing Henry V that he can win over his lady. I especially enjoyed the play's use of some of Shakespeare's own, familiar words, and its brevity. ”
