And now we arrive at the firestorm that is Act IV of Richard II! Among many things, our cast discussed the political potency of the abdication/deposition scene, the comedy gold of ‘the gloves’, ascending and descending imagery, and Richard playing on the edge of a knife with his powerful language and status-taking actions.

Our cast of Nazlah Black, Zoe Burke, Mairi Chanel, Caryl Farkas, Zoë Goslin, Mike Marcou, Amy Meilander, & William Potter, facilitated by Ariana Karp, continues their exploration of Richard II.
