- Finally got through the Taming of the Shrew and Two Gentlemen of Verona and now I'm into Richard II which is so much better. I fucking love history plays so much
- It’s Act 2 Scene 1 and there’s already scheming nobles talking about how he keeps taxing the nobles and the peasants and there’s a claimant with an army across the Channel. Not looking good for Richard
- Just as a side note: Ben Whishaw's performance as Richard II in THE HOLLOW CROWN was amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR3U...

- Mark Rylance's version is also amazing though very different
- That's the beauty of drama when you encounter a scene you really know and you see it interpreted in an entirely different way.
