Was Richard III really the monster Shakespeare painted him to be? Or have centuries of myth and propaganda hidden the man he truly was?
Join me as I talk to the creative team behind "A Taste of Loyalty"—a powerful new short film (inspired by Matthew Lewis's novel "Loyalty"), which explores one of the most pivotal (and misunderstood) moments in Richard III's life.
I interview Matt Lewis, historian and novelist; Thomas Dennis, director, screenwriter, and the man portraying Richard III; and Tiffany Lunn, composer and musical visionary for the film.
Together, we discuss:
- Why this isn’t your typical Richard III story
- How they’re balancing historical accuracy with powerful storytelling
- The challenges and joys of adapting a novel for the screen on a tight budget
- The emotional depth behind the music, the costumes, and the character of Richard
- Their long-term vision for the project, and how you can help make it happen
Whether you’re a Ricardian, a Wars of the Roses enthusiast, a lover of historical fiction, or just curious about how history comes alive through film, this conversation is packed with insight, passion, and behind-the-scenes gems.
