Hello, what an interesting episode. I hugely love Richard ll. it is in my top five Shakespeare plays and I agree the Hollow Crown was excellent for this play. I must listen to the Rest is History podcast for this, thank you for the recommendation. I read Tom Hollands translation of The Histories by Herodotus. It was fantastic so I bet the podcast is good.
Long time fan of The Rest is History> Those guys are also hysterically funny. Highly rec!
Your content is so good, your vlog should be much more popular!
Yes have followed The Rest of History for a while! And I must confess I came here for the rivers of London series mention 😅
Richard II! I love Richard II (the play)! I used to love Richard as a character after I read it for the first time a handful of years ago. Then I reread it twice last year and I could see all the play better hah
Great reading from W in the W!
I read that chapter of W in the W to my family on Christmas
Thanks for the podcast recommendation 🤩
A few years ago, I saw a group at my uni perform Duchess, and I don't know what it was (whether it was simply the story or if it was the way it was performed/directed) but the amount of deaths managed to come across as really funny because it seemed so ridiculous.
