Richard II (The Hollow Crown)

 

Richard II The Hollow Crown 2015

• Director: Rupert Goold
• Seen by this director – Judy
• Based on the play by William Shakespeare
• Cast: Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear and a slew of British actors
• Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
• Ben Whishaw – many
• Rory Kinnear – No Time to Die, Spectre, The Casual Vacancy, The Imitation Game, Skyfall, The Hollow Crown, Quantum of Solace, Secret Smile
• Why? Why? Shakespeare
• Seen: Once before. Now 29 May 2024 

       The acting is so good that I sit in awe as I watch. Ben Whishaw is simply brilliant.

       Unlike the Globe’s production (though I love the Globe dearly), this is dramatic from the very beginning.

       Astounding.
