Richard II - Live at Shakespeare's Globe

Directed by Simon Godwin

With Charles Edwards, David Sturzaker, William Gaunt, Anneika Rose and William Chubb

Ruling by divine right, but himself ruled by caprice, King Richard exiles Henry Bolingbroke and seizes his father’s vast estates. While Richard is distracted by a rebellion in Ireland, Bolingbroke returns to England, intent on recovering his rightful property and, with the support of his disgruntled peers, perhaps seizing the crown itself.
