Inevitably I remember nothing about these two productions. Lots has changed for Richard III since then - the following year his body was found under a car park in Leicester and he got a proper burial, and people continue to try and clear his name. It does mean that his story is now much more familiar so when I've seen this play since then the plot was much easier to follow.
