Actually, I saw it two years in a row, because I was studying in Stratford the first year, when Pasco played Richard against Morgan Sheppard as Bolingbroke, and then the next year when I was at Oxford and went to Stratford to see Pasco and Richardson alternate. The moment I remember most is Richard doing his "Down, down I come," speech in an overly dramatic manner, and the director had Henry BOlingbroke break into sarcastic applause. A few years later I met Morgan Sheppard when he came to Washington, D.C. with the RSC in another production. I got to go to the cast party, and told him he had managed that moment of Bolingbroke being both sarcastic and funny brilliantly. He seemed stunned that someone had remembered him when the whole thrust of the show is about Richard.

It was a truly marvelous production, and I am so happy I got to see it three times.
