Henry VI
“I have no brother, I am like no brother.
I am myself, alone.”
Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Henry VI, Part 3
A bare space, a crown and a throne. An ensemble cast in a powerful production of actor generated theatricality and transformation, telling a cautionary tale about power and greed, which shows how a tyrant can rise in a torn and broken society.
York Shakespeare Project presents all three parts of Henry VI as one show, directed by Irwin Appel, Professor of Theater at University of California Santa Barbara. His condensed version of the trilogy promises to be a fascinating and thrilling piece of physical theatre.
