The Tragedy of King Richard the Second is a play written by William Shakespeare around 1595 and based on the life of King Richard II of England. It is the first part of a tetralogy referred to by scholars as the Henriad, followed by three plays concerning Richard's successors: Henry IV, Part I; Henry IV, Part II; and Henry V. The play, set around the year 1398, traces the fall from power of the last king of the house of Plantagenet, Richard II, and his replacement by the first Lancaster king, Henry IV (Henry Bolingbroke).
Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain.
Sir Sidney Lee (1859 - 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.

newsmode Revue de presse
La pièce ne se résume pas à cette évocation du pouvoir qui rend fou et au brio avec lequel le dramaturge expose son savoir-faire. Shakespeare dresse de Richard II un portrait ambigu dont Micha Lescot explore les facettes contradictoires avec une jubilation contagieuse.
Dans Richard II, il y a comme un aspect prémonitoire des violences à venir. Ces mises en garde résonnent particulièrement en nos temps troublés où s’oublie le respect de l’homme pour mieux piétiner… Voici donc ce qui constitue l’argument principal de la pièce, et derrière cet ancrage se tisse la puissance du dramaturge qui instille dans chaque scène des duels où s’enflamment la tendresse et l’orgueil.
