The first of Shakespeare's history plays, Richard II sees the unlikeable and corrupt king be usurped by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who goes on to become Henry IV.

“It was a multiracial cast — Shakespeare’s ‘Richard II.’ The people coming into power with Bolingbroke, they were all people of color.”

Ethan Bolingbroke had seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown.

In a humble but well-done production, Brave Spirits had Richard II crowned and killed, and his successor, Henry Bolingbroke, a.k.a.

And Bolingbroke’s motives — whether he has always wanted the crown, whether he actually wanted Richard dead — are unclear.
