Strong Recommend: Shakespeare's Richard II

Armando asks why Richard II is such an overlooked Shakespeare historical?

This week, it's Armando's term to recommend something, and he
makes the case for a little known up-and-coming writer, William
Shakespeare. Richard II doesn't get its due among the other
historical plays. Armando wonders why? It's full of drama and
it's written in verse, what's not to love? Helen also discusses
it in the context of the time, and what made it such a brave
piece of writing.

We also discuss which Shakespearean historical figure modern
politicians might be.

Join Helen and Armando over the summer for more cultural
recommendations, available weekly on BBC Sounds.
