Richard II

[llywela]

Did anyone else catch the Beeb's dramatisation of Shakespeare's Richard II on Saturday night? It was very well done - gorgeous locations, beautiful direction and a fabulous cast (including David Suchet, Patrick Stewart, Lindsay Duncan and James Purefoy) whose performances really brought that unwieldy dialogue to life. Richard's deposition scene dragged on a bit, perhaps, but such is the play. No one does costume drama like the Beeb! I'm now looking forward to Henry IV Part One on Saturday.
