Richard III: Peggy Ashcroft as Queen Margaret

This picture of the despairing widowed queen shows the tragic figure she becomes in "Richard III," as part of the Hall/Barton "Wars of the Roses," 1963-4, at the RSC. She becomes a kind of tragic chorus speaking on behalf of all the victims of the Wars of the Roses. Courtesy of the Shakespeare Centre Library, Stratford-upon-Avon.
