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.
