\u201cNot all the water in the rough rude sea 
Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


When corrupt, despotic King Richard II ventures off to wage war, the banished Bolingbroke invades to reclaim his stolen inheritance. Embraced by an angry populace and co-opted by self-righteous, greedy nobles, he takes the throne and sets the stage for 32 years of civil war. The first chapter of Shakespeare\u2019s four-part \u201cgame of thrones\u201d examines issues critical to contemporary politics, from the embrace of autocracy, the power of wealth, and whether a nation divided can stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
