\u201c\u2019\u2019RICHARD II,\u2019 INEVITABLE IMPASSE\u2019\u2026.One of the problems in playing \u2018Richard II\u2019 is to keep him from being an esthete or a coward.\u2026Randall Duk Kim\u2019s Richard earns our empathy\u2026. In Mr. Kim\u2019s sensitive, manly portrayal, Richard rises in our esteem and affection; we regret that poets can not be kings\u2026.The principle reason for seeing this \u2018Richard\u2019 is Mr. Kim, a continually expanding actor (he has played contemporary comedy at the American Place Theater and the title role in \u2018Pericles\u2019 for the New York Shakespeare Festival).\u2026As for the adventurous Mr. Kim, if there is any limit to his talent as an actor. It has not yet been demonstrated.\u201d

\u201cThe title role of \u2018King Richard II\u2019\u2026foreshadowed Shakespeare\u2019s greatest character, Hamlet\u2026.both sensitive men, possessed of an imaginative strain, strong intellect and great eloquence\u2026. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Randall Duk Kim, who plays Richard, is an actor who is sensitive to the nuances of his character\u2026. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Shakespeare drew a picture of a complex man, subject to extremes of emotion and indecision. Kim is an intelligent and impassioned actor\u2026.. He poignantly captures the humiliation of a king who knows he has lost the right to rule but can still hope for divine intervention to save his throne\u2026.\u201d
