King Richard gets an onslaught of bad news as he prepares for battle in York’s House Garage. The only glimmer of hope is the news that Buckingham’s army was dispersed by floods and he was taken prisoner. Richard tells Stanley to muster men but to leave behind his son, George, so he can be sure of Stanley’s loyalty. Stanley secretly sends word to Richmond that he will come to his aid once he secures his son’s safety. Richmond rallies her army outside a “A Bus Named Larry” as Richard spends the night in an empty warehouse. Both leaders sleep and dream in their separate camps. Richard is haunted by the ghosts of the people he murdered, Richmond is blessed by those same ghosts. The moment of truth arrives when Richard meets Richmond in battle the next day.
