The Holy Terror: An Adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard II by Kevin Connell The “holy terror” is a king named Richard, seemingly trapped in adolescence. Perpetually doomed to act out like a child (rather than out of evilness or hatred), he is a sensitive soul, deeply affected by the death—when he was nine years old--of his father, Edward the Black Prince (b.1330 - d.1376). “Connell's adaptation, which adds text from a variety of sources to an abbreviation of Richard II, streamlines the story and themes of Shakespeare's original. . . . A bang-up job of good old-fashioned storytelling.”-- Martin Denton (NYTheatre.com)
