• elizabeth macintosh'un gordon daviot mahlasıyla yazdığı 1933 tarihli iki perdeli oyun. kral ikinci richard'a* hayat veren ve oyunun yönetmenliğini yapan john gielgud'u süperstar mertebesine çıkarmıştır. oyun, shakespeare'in aksine, trajik kralı ölümüne götürecek üçüncü ve son politik kriz yerine, 1386'daki ikinci krize ve genç yaşta ölen ilk karısı anne ile olan ilişkisine yoğunlaşmaktadır.

    biri sahnelese de izlesek.

    anne: richard, you must go back. they can do nothing without you.

    richard: that is why i came out. they think they are lords of england until it comes to signing a paper. for that they need me. and you have no idea how difficult it is sometimes not to sign, when my uncle gloucester has been glowering, and my uncle lancaster has been arguing, and my uncle york has been tactful and silly. my grandfather was distressingly prolific. if only i could trust them, anne! if only i could trust everyone as i trusted when i was small. that was happiness; to take men as you found them, with no little flame of suspicion always shooting up in your mind to spoil things. i sometimes wish i could be--oh, i don't know; nobody in particular; just one of the people. i talked to the people once, in the rebellion; talked for hours to them; and they seemed quite happy in spite of being so poor. but how they stank, anne! how they stank! it is an insult to god that a human being should smell like that."
