- Richard II is comparatively a less well known play by Shakespeare. I’ll give you a brief summary of the story and mostly, the person of Richard, his theatricality and his incredible speeches.

Nicole, I was so thrilled when I saw that you were going to talk about Richard II. I am also on an amateur Shakespeare journey and that play was my most recent read. I struggled with it, and actually put it down while I read - Foundation: The History of England from Its Earliest Beginnings to the Tudors - by Peter Ackroyd, to get some historical context. Then I went back to the play. You explained it so well. Thank you!
Pleasure :) Hope you are having a great time with Shakespeare. Did you enjoy Richard II in the end? Is the history book good? I haven’t read anything by Ackroyd.
I watched Richard II at Stratford last year that reimagines it in 1980s rave culture andit was masterful.
Sounds intriguing. I’ll see if I can search out some pictures :)
Wonderfully interesting! I saw Richard II last year in Stratford (in Canada). It was the first time I read it or saw it. I really enjoyed it. I think it’s an underrated play (in as much as a Shakespeare’s can be underrated).
Oh I was going to say the same thing! It was definitely a different interpretation than the original version but it was such a good play!
It is underrated I agree! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Ohhhh Nicole.. I am so glad you did a whole episode about this. Richard ii is in my favourite Shakespeare plays. I don’t think it is loved as much as it deserves. I think it is so multi layered. I feel heartbroken for Richard because his belief that he is almost a god is crumpled and he loses even his own identity. I think the language and writing is spectacular. Can you tell how much I love this play.
I sort of agree that reading is a wonderful way to appreciate Shakespeare. I find I enjoy watching plays I have read a few times.
You read the sections of this beautifully
Yay glad to hear it’s one of your favourites. Yes the language is beautiful!
Thank you :)
A wonderful discussion of one of my absolute favorite Shakespeare plays. Thank you!
Pleasure :) lovely to hear it’s your favourite and glad you enjoyed the discussion!
Thank you for this passionate presentation about Richard II. I am attending a production of the play at the Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis) in May. Your views will help me to understand it more fully.
Lovely! Hope it’s good and that you’ll enjoy it!
Liked the presentation! It made me reconsider Richard II. I thought it was okay when I read and then saw it performed.
Now I see how it's about a great poet and a lousy king!
Thank you! Hope you like it better next time you watch or read it :)
I love your passion for this one. It has given it a new life in my heart
Aww thank you!
Fantastic! Loads of cool insights... this has become one of my favourite Shakespeare plays... love your analysis of Richard's 'conjuration' of nature
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoy the play more and more :) I’m really glad I read it!
Such a great video! I love this play.
Thank you! It’s great isn’t it!
