This play/musical/stage drama is also known as: The Tragedy of King Richard the third.

Richard III was entered into the Register of the Stationers Company on 20 October 1597, by the bookseller Andrew Wise, who published the first Quarto (Q1) later that year (with printing done by Valentine Simmes). But the play is thought to have been written in approximately 1592.
