New York's Shakespeare in the Park won't be held this year, so its production of Richard II has been retooled for the radio with much of the same cast.
A summary of the first episode:
The Duke of Gloucester has been murdered. Now the young King Richard must settle a dispute between two members of his court, Thomas Mowbray and Henry Bolingbroke, over who is responsible for the killing. Richard calls for a trial by combat, and the men prepare to face one another in a fight to the death. But just as it is beginning, Richard abruptly ends the fight, banishing both men instead.
