Shakespeare's Richard III presents difficult textual problems.
There are 2,000 verbal differences between the text of the first
quarto (1597) and the version in the First Folio (1623). Although
the narrative of the two plays is virtually identical, each has
lines which are not found in the other, parts of the play are
arranged differently, and the quarto deploys fewer characters. The
text of the quarto is accompanied by a collation of variant
readings and substantial textual notes. In a lengthy introduction
Peter Davison proposes that Shakespeare's company, the Lord
Chamberlain's Men, used a memorially reconstructed text of Richard
III during a touring performance of the play, and that text
provided the manuscript for the 1597 quarto. Using examples of
touring practice of the past 400 years, Davison shows how the
actors' involvement helped to produce the text we have.
