BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
IN BBC'S 'HENRY VI' & 'RICHARD III' HISTORICAL MINI SERIES
I don't know if you enjoyed BBC's Shakespeare mini series THE HOLLOW CROWN which brought some of his biggest historical plays onto the 
small screens two years ago starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and Ben Whishaw (I myself appreciated the outstanding performances and the artistic value of it, but found the whole series difficult and even monotonous to follow) but it is getting a continuation: BBC will also produce HENRY VI and RICHARD III into TV mini series and they have announced this weekend that Benedict Cumberbatch will play Richard III. Cumberbatch is already playing Hamlet in a London theatre.DID YOU KNOW?
Richard III depicts the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England. It is extremely long and is rarely performed unabridged! It follows King Richard III who had murdered HENRY VI during the infamous War of Roses before he got into the fight with his own brother EDWARD and killed his own nephews. We've seen that story already last year in BBC's unsuccessful THE WHITE QUEEN epic series. HENRY VI was remembered as a king who suffered from insanity and who took the throne when he was only 9 months old.
