- W2484980230 abstract "The best-kept critical secret of King Richard II is that there are jokes in it, or at least moments when the audience is not discouraged from laughing. One may read widely in the commentaries without encountering this truth. In the theatre, King Richard II is well known to pose problems of laughter-control, and this is reflected in some distinguished commentary. Sir John Gielgud confesses himself unsure as to whether the Aumerle scenes should be retained or omitted.1 ‘Certainly the rhyming couplets in these scenes have a strong flavor of fustian melodrama, and many of the lines can seem ridiculous unless they are delivered with consummate power and tact.’2 Sir John alludes to a stage tradition of cutting the Aumerle scenes, which A. C. Sprague saw as dominant.3 In the same vein, Stanley Wells remarks of the Aumerle scenes that ‘Shakespeare is trying, not quite successfully, to achieve a subtle fusion of seriousness and comedy for which he cannot command the necessary technical resources, so that the comedy tends to submerge the seriousness.’4" @default.
