NotesIt's Shakespeare you know, beautifully done though you may not like the mirroring of Richard's deformed body with his deformed character. Worth the effort to follow the dialogue. If you're shy of or new to Shakespeare try Kenneth Branagh's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, it even stars Keanu Reeves. Nothing to do with disability but great fun. See also KING LEAR.
