“The Tragedy of Richard II” chronicles the overthrow of the young King Richard by the future King Henry IV. The downfall and humiliation of Richard, though his own fault, shows the limits of a king’s power, as well as the loyalty of his subjects and friends. It is one of the most beautifully written of Shakespeare’s plays and features many oft-quoted speeches, and soliloquies”.
Richard II was be staged at Scarabeus Theater (Rue Creuse), November 27-December1, 2012
