| Description |
Often described as the greatest theatrical cycle ever written in English, Shakespeare's epic history plays thread their dramatic course through centuries rife with warfare, corruption, murder and conspiracy. The eight plays are condensed into two extended productions beginning with Richard II, through Henry IV, V and VI, and ending with Richard III. The play is performed in two parts over two nights, or a marathon performance running through an afternoon and an evening. |
