Synopsis
Shakespeare's
Henry VI plays dramatize contemporary as much as Elizabethan issues: the struggle for power, the manoeuvres of politicians, social unrest, civil war. This edition draws on experience of the play in rehearsal and performance to focus on both its theatricality and contemporary
relevance in a wide-ranging introduction and detailed commentary.
