Slow reading

(3 Sterne)

this may be a wonderful speed for people learning English or hearing Shakespeare for the first time. In any other case, the reading is slow and laborious.

(2 Sterne)

Hereford's reader sounds too weak and unsure. As he is a major character found it difficult to make it past Act I. Uneven. King Richard's reader much more convincing.
