Classic Serial: Plantagenet: Series 2 - 3. Richard II - And All Our Dreams Will End in Death
by Mike Walker. Inspired by Holinshed's Chronicles. 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. '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. Richard II ..... Patrick Kennedy Henry Bolingbroke ..... Blake Ritson Queen Ann ..... Alex Tregear Gloucester ..... Peter Polycarpou John of Gaunt ..... Sean Baker DeVere ..... James Lailey Burley ..... Stuart McLoughlin Tyler ..... Simon Bubb Walworth ..... Daniel Rabin John Ball ..... Jonathan Forbes Joan ..... Claire Harry Welshman .....
