And we begin our second play, the lyrical Richard II! Join us with a brand new group of actors as we work through Act I of Richard II. (A warning that there is a graphic description of the punishment for treason during Elizabethan times near the beginning of the podcast.) We familiarize ourselves with the complex circumstances that happen before the play starts, the dizzying number of titles of many of the characters, and the whims of King Richard. Our cast for this project includes: Stephen Bennet, Nazlah Black, Zoe Burke, Mairi Chanel, Caryl Farkas, Zoë Goslin, Mike Marcou, Amy Meilander, & William Potter, facilitated by Ariana Karp.
