King Richard II : a tragedy

Not all the water in the rough rude sea/Can wash the balm off from an anointed king, declares the soon-to-be deposed ruler of this historical drama. Confident in his divine right, Richard II is an ineffective and unpopular king who abuses his power and sows the seeds of his own downfall. Toppled from the throne by Henry, his ambitious cousin, Richard only learns to value kingship after he loses it, achieving a tragic dignity only with his downfall. The first play in Shakespeare's Henriad series followed by Henry IV, Parts I and II, and Henry V   Richard II portrays intense psychological struggles as well as a taut political drama. The only one of Shakespeare's plays written entirely in verse, it offers a grand, lyrical allegory and a poignant exploration of character.

  • "Greed and Anger-- King Richard is called upon to settle a dispute over money between Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray. The situation escalates and Mowbray challenges Bolingbroke to a duel. A tournament is held to that end, but at the very beginning of the duel Richard interrupts the duel and banishes both men from England. And thus starts a downward spiral for King Richard. Must I not serve a long apprenticehood To foreign passages, and in the end, Having my freedom, boast of nothing else But that I was a journeyman to grief?"
  • "To Shakespeare's contemporaries, 'Richard II' was a balanced dramatisation of how to cope with an unjust ruler. In this new edition, the editor takes account of the number of important professional theatre productions & the large output of scholarly criticism on the plays which have appeared in recent years."@en
