a shitty king
Mar 26, 2010
 I'm currently working on a BBC adaptation of Henry IV and Richard III, and seeing the scenes played out over and over again is really helping my understanding of two plays I was never too familiar with. It's also kept Richard's soliloquies direct to audience, which I don't think the previous series did at all, which serves to heighten the creepy villany of Richard. I never knew about the hilarious scene in Richard where he gets his lackeys to bring all the nobles of London to 'catch' him praying, and it's such an over the top show of piety and humbleness that it's actually funny.
