unfortunately it is not the time to be normal. it is time for me to watch richard iii (1983) directed by jane howell for the third time in six months.
#i was trying to watch other things but i couldn't leave off the henry vi trilogy wo watching richard iii#tales from diana#ron cook is sooooo good as richard#also i wonder how ppl enjoy this play (or adaptations w it) without having read/seen the 3 parts of henry vi first?#not like 'i wonder' like 'i dont see it as possible' but like this time around especially#it really just sticks w me how inseparable it is from its 3 prior history plays you know#like i first read the henry vi plays bc ned convinced me to way back in the day#and i knew nothing about any of them medieval english kings. like not the first thing#so i didnt realize r3 was immediately after them or like the same series or anything#im not even sure i understood yet how famous *some* of the history plays are yet? or. i dont remember#i still had had the riverside shakespeare for less than a year when i started reading h6#so it was still pretty new to me i suppose.#but i suppose i cant imagine how compelling richard might be wo the buildup of his characters in h6 parts 2 and 3#shakespeare does such a good job of developing his character throughout those plays that by the time you get to his own#its like YAAAASSS BITCH#KILL THEM KILL EVERYONE WE LOVE YOU YOURE PERFECT#(he is not perfect. but he is to me)
