This BBC full-cast production of Richard II is a poetic and powerful adaptation that explores themes of dignity, kingship, and narcissism, with Samuel West starring as Richard. Entirely written in verse, the play delves into the tragic downfall of a capricious monarch, capturing the grandeur and pathos of Shakespeare's epic tragedy. Celebrated as part of BBC's distinguished Radio Shakespeare series, the production is a modern interpretation that reflects the rich heritage of Shakespearean radio drama.
