RICHARD II "For
God's sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of
the death of kings."
Full of memorable Shakespearean
quotes, this tragedy follows the rise and fall of one of
England's renowned kings, at the hands of Sir Henry Bolingbroke. The
tragedy required thoughtful and increasingly more sombre music
that reflects the growing tension of an England at war with itself.
This production was directed by
Claudette Williamson for the Richmond Shakespeare Society
and featured Ben Horslen as King Richard, and
Alex Page-Bailey as Bolingbroke.
