Richard II is by William Shakespeare. The first in Shakespeare's classic tetralogy of history plays covering the reigns of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. The story follows the dethroning of Richard II by Henry Bolingbroke. A wonderful play and well worth the effort to read. The magnificent John of Gaunt speech about England in Act II is worth the price of admission.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10.
