OK! Slight hiccup in my schedule, but let’s get back on track, starting with one of my favorite drama queens.
I love all of Richard’s self-indulgently melodramatic speeches. “For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings.” “What must the king do now? Must he submit?” “Ay, no, no, ay, for I must nothing be.” They’re all pure theatrical gold, and that’s just scratching the surface. I could listen to Richard try to be the center of attention all day; he may be a megalomaniacal narcissist, but his language is absolutely golden.
