Kingmaker, The

Synopsis: This audio drama is a continuation of the television series Doctor Who, with Peter Davison and Nicola Bryant returning to the roles of the Doctor and his companion Peri. In this adventure they have to deal with time paradoxes that occur when the mysterious ‘Mr Seyton’ attempts to alter history so that the reign of Richard III more closely resembles Shakespeare’s version of events, especially with regards to the fate of the Princes in the Tower. The play begins with Elizabethan audiences getting angry with Peri after she gives away the ending to Shakespeare’s ‘Richard III’ during an early performance of the play. It is eventually revealed that ‘Seyton’ is in fact Shakespeare himself.
