Richard II – Wellington

The play follows King Richard who, believing himself to be appointed by God, makes increasingly damaging decisions to the realm, creating large social unrest. When Richard seizes the lands of John of Gaunt right after his passing, Gaunt’s son Bolingbroke wages a rebellion against the king. Richard finds his divine right challenged, and, seeking aid from his allies, discovers dissent from even his most trusted advisors.
