Show notes

Shakespeare’s 1595 history play tells the story of one king’s abdication, and provokes questions about the difference between legitimate authority and illegitimate power. Richard II isn’t Shakespeare’s best-known play, but it may claim to be his best-written: the only one entirely in verse, it initiates a long series of plays that deal with its fallout.
