'Hot off a country-wide tour of last year’s controversial, sold out Melbourne Fringe show Unsex Me, creator/performer Mark Wilson attacks Shakespeare’s Richard II – the second dick, a God-king who realises he’s human – and comes out with a treasonous consanguinity of celebrity, corruption and religious self-love. Whoever your political Gods are – Richard is the acknowledgement that they are human, corruptible and compromised.'

Richard II is included in AustLit because of Australian-written adaptations.
