Though RICHARD II is one of the five plays studied in James Calderwood’s seminal work SHAKESPEAREAN METADRAMA (1971), the metatheatre is implicit rather than explicit. There is no overt occurrence such as a masque, play-within-the-play or disguised character.

There is no overt occurrence such as a masque, play-within-the-play or disguised character. But the abdication scene (4.1), which had likely been censored and cut from the play’s early performances (and does not appear in its first three printings, Q1–3), was almost certainly conceived by Shakespeare as a somewhat “staged” event. Perhaps another category of metatheatrical play should then be considered: a form of “court performance” whereby certain rituals of state are (re) enacted.

RICHARD II had already been published five times before its inclusion in the 1623 First Folio. These occurred in 1597 (Q1), 1598 (Q2 & Q3), 1608 (Q4), and 1615 (Q5). The copy for Q1 was probably a transcript of Shakespeare’s foul papers. With the exception of Q4 (which introduces 4.1.154–318 / TLN 2074–2243) each successive quarto was a reprint of its predecessor. F was apparently set from a copy of Q3 that had been annotated from a promptbook (or perhaps F compositors had access to the promptbook). Most contemporary editions therefore use Q1 & F as a control-texts.
