''Richard of Bordeaux'' (1932) is a play by "Gordon Daviot", a pseudonym for Elizabeth Macintosh, best known by another of her pen names, Josephine Tey. The play tells the story of Richard II of England in a romantic fashion, emphasizing the relationship between Richard and his first wife, Queen Anne of Bohemia. The play was a major hit in 1933, playing a significant role in turning its director and leading man John Gielgud into a major star. Audiences found its portrayal of medieval characters speaking like modern people refreshing.〔Sheridan Morley, ''John Gielgud: The Authorized Biography'', Simon and Schuster, 2010, p.115.〕 ==Characters== (In order of their appearance) *Fair Page, Maudelyn *Dark Page *Richard, King of England *Anne, The Queen *Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester *John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster *Sir Simon Burley *Edmund of Langley, Duke of York *Michael de la Pole, Chancellor of England *Richard, Earl of Arundel *Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury *Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford *Mary, Countess of Derby *Agnes Launcekron, the Queen's waiting-woman *Henry, Earl of Derby *Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham *Maudelyn, the King's secretary *Sir John Montague *Edward, Earl of Rutland *A Waiting-woman *Doctor *A man in the street *Second man *Third man *Woman with loaves *Woman with vegetables *First page *Second page *Lord Derby's page 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard of Bordeaux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
