Richard II - And All Our Dreams Will End in Death
Richard II struggles to introduce culture to the war-based English court. With Patrick Kennedy and Blake Ritson. From June 2011.
Richard II, having proved his mettle in quelling the Peasants' Revolt, disappoints his courtiers as he pursues peace and culture as an alternative to fighting and swiving.
Mike Walker's trilogy - inspired by Holinshed's Chronicles.
'Plantagenet' tells the story of the birth of a new Europe after the dark ages. The issues of control, of freedom, of belief, above all, perhaps, the temptations of power which are so familiar to us now were new to an age which had no template for domination on this scale.
