Our episode on Richard III is more rushed than a usual episode because the play is extremely long. I'd like to come back to it to explore some of the interesting details we skipped. If anyone would like to hear that kind of episode, let us know!
On Julius Caesar and the Tower of London: when I saw Richard III performed at the RSC they did a fine little take on this scene. The Prince asking if Julius Caesar built the Tower was played as though it were a naive, childish question and the adults affirming that Caesar had built the Tower was merely their humoring them. A lovely bit of business that really added to the pathos of the scene.
I'd definitely like to hear more from you guys on this one - it's one of my favorites!
