What are his most overlooked plays?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 11:26:00 2020 No.15983867 Richard II is considered one of his worst history plays, but I enjoyed it a lot. Richard’s soliloquy at the end is very relatable. And the deposition scene in the court is also so good.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 17:14:53 2020 No.15986562 >>15983529 Troilus and Cressida, honestly thought it was amazing and really depressing for being a "comedy". Also his depiction of Odysseus is great.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 18:20:42 2020 No.15987096 Cymbeline, Coriolanus definitely. Richard II would be, if it were overlooked. Antony & Cleopatra is debatable, actually pretty much all the ancient history ones except Julius Caesar are arguably overlooked compared to the Henrys.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 18:22:29 2020 No.15987115 timon, cymbeline, two kinsmen, henry viii, pericles rare to see a production outside either globe, rsc, or osf if you have not read pericles, i highly recommend it. it moves so strangely. time dilates.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 18:29:31 2020 No.15987172 When I first read Richard II, I thought Richard was a land-greedy, bizarrely arbitrary robber baron and the rebels had legitimate grievances. Then a random /his/ thread educates me about The Cruel Parliament. They were all pricks.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 18:43:17 2020 No.15987293 >>15987096 >Richard II would be, if it were overlooked. It is, fucking retard.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 28 18:51:45 2020 No.15987355 >>15987192 no, not really. whichever edition you prefer. the arden includes folio and quarto with notations for the inserts, which is nice. but so do others.
