Henry VI
by William Shakespeare
Demonstrating the young playwright's bold vision and growing skill, these are Shakespeare's first three historical plays, covering nearly sixty turbulent years of British history. Their rivalry, violence, and thrilling speeches excite audiences with both action and character, and in the midst of the final play of this trilogy, a shocking, intelligent, indescribably evil new voice is heard — the voice of Richard of Gloucester, who is doomed to become Britain's most feared and hated ruler of all time, Richard III.
