RICHARD II: THOMAS OF WOODSTOCK
A New Ending by Justin Alexander
Richard II:
Thomas of Woodstock only survives in a well-thumbed
manuscript. Literally well-thumbed: The edges of its pages, worn thin
by apparently decades of use as a playhouse prompt script, are
disintegrating.
But that’s not all: The manuscript’s cover sheet has been lost, taking with it the original name of the play and the author’s name. The last few pages are also missing, taking with them the end of the play. Despite being battered and beaten, the play has survived. And it brings with it a host of mysteries of enigmas. If one is to perform this intriguing play, of course, an ending must be supplied. This new ending, written by Justin Alexander, was first performed as part of The Complete Readings of William Shakespeare by the American Shakespeare Repertory. |
