Publisher Description
This moving and eloquent historical drama depicts the conflict between a willful and arrogant poet of a king, Richard II, and his politically pragmatic cousin, Bolingbroke. Rich with memorable scenes and speeches, this lyrical history moves from a splendid medieval tournament to the poignant surrender of a crown; from the queen’s heart-shattering farewell to her king to Richard’s murder—a deed “chronicled in hell” that lives forever as one of the great moments in theater.

Tennant May be To Blame
I love this play, but that is likely because of David Tennant’s wonderful portrayal in 2014 and 2015. Richard isn’t the most likeable King (as in he’s not likeable at all unless you’re looking at the great love he clearly has for his wife), but he can give a really good speech when the occasion requires.
