“Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings” - Richard II, Act 3, Scene 2
Richard is King of England, made that way by God himself. His power brings with it vanity and complacency. But what happens when that power is stripped away? When Richard’s cousin returns from his banishment early, he not only challenges the king’s worth but his very life itself.
Richard II is a tale of power, greed and betrayal. Join Constant Lark as they tell the tale of one of Shakespeare’s most complex kings.
