Creative Pulse Co. presents Richard II by William Shakespeare // Directed by Mary Lou Rosato
Richard II is one of the most layered and complex plays in Shakespeare's cannon. Part history, part tragedy, part poetic masterpiece, the play marks the notable maturation of Shakespeare's writing style, as he highlights the duality and inextricability of family dynamics and monarchal politics. Unique to his other works, Richard II is written entirely in verse, which lends itself well to the poetic, and often philosophical subject matter inherent in the play.
The story follows the inverted journeys of the two major players: the fall of King Richard II of Bordeaux and the rise of his cousin, Henry of Bolingbroke (later King Henry IV). The central question brought up by these two is that of monarchal legitimacy what makes a king legitimately a king?
