Kevin Spacey seems to be singularly immune to the sense of the play: the transition from a state of supreme arrogance, to one of absolute humility. While Richard II gains virtue and wisdom by conceding power to his cousin Bolingbroke, Kevin Spacey made no such concession to the brilliant Ben Miles. Interestingly, reviewers have referred to Kevin Spacey as a 'Prima Donna'. How amusing that the critique of his singularly male ego is expressed in terms which relate to the pride of a woman. Sickeningly male.
