Vincent Kirk answers â€œMust I read the Richard II and the Henry...â€� â€� Richard III Q&A

Chad Evans asked this question about Richard III:

Must I read the Richard II and the Henry plays to understand this?

Vincent Kirk No, you can read it as a stand-alone play. If, at some point, you do want to read other plays that connect to it, read the three "Henry VI" plays. Theâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ðNo, you can read it as a stand-alone play. If, at some point, you do want to read other plays that connect to it, read the three "Henry VI" plays. They take place before "Richard III", and characters from it appear, so you can get a sense of where people are coming from at the start of "Richard III". But, as has been said, it works as a stand-alone play, so it's certainly not necessary.(less)
