Answer 1

Why not hire a video of the play? Watching it performed is much better than reading it. Shakespeare's work was intended for the stage, not the classroom. You will understand it much better. There is a classic version with Laurence Olivier and a modern version with Ian McKellan and probably a few others.

Remember that Shakespeare was writing in the time of Elizabeth Tudor. It was her grandfather, Henry VII who took the throne, some say illegally, in 1485 after Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth. Showing Richard to be an arch tyrant and murderer helped the Tudor claim.
