Oh gawd, I decided to go straight from Much Ado to Richard II and I don't think I can do this 180 from Tennant as Benedick to Tennant as Richard, it's really throwing me 😂 #Shakespeare

Play: this is a super serious fuenral with two men throwing dire accusations at each other
Me: Benedick your fashion sense has gone up 1000%

Also there are no captions on this video, which is really making me sad. I had hoped it was a site-wide feature, but apparently not? It's especially needed since the player's aren't mic'd. I can read along but it's distracting.

Gawd Richard II's costumes are lush in this though, I mean look at this robe

RII: You two, make nice!
B&M: No!
RII: lol gtfo then
B&M: 😲😡

Richard II: Everyone looks really mad at me but I'll be fiiiiiinnneee this is a comedy right? It'll be fiiinnnee.

Narrator: it was not, in fact, a comedy, and he would not, in fact, be fine

RII: I'm so glad to be home!
Bolingbroke: me too 🙃
RII: ...shit

Important geopolitical exposition brought to you by garrulous gardeners

How many gloves do y'all have, I feel like you've all thrown at least 15 each 😂

Northumberland, your humiliation kink is showing

Aumerle, I think you need a better place to hide your letters than half out of your shirt, that really wasn't very effective

Rutland just straight up had his mom do the "I want to speak to the manager" her way out of her son being convicted of treason

Nothing says foreboding like the ghost of your dead ex-king standing behind you after his brutal murder while you talk about forgiveness 🙃👑
