Henry VI: a Shakespearean Game of Thrones!

The thrill of rebellion, the brutality of battle, and ambition without boundaries in Shakespeare’s epic trilogy.

Experience the thrill of rebellion, the brutality of battle, and ambition without boundaries in Shakespeare’s epic trilogy about one of the most turbulent periods in English history. This box set from the incomparable Royal Shakespeare Company, available for the first time on DVD, includes:

Henry VI: Part One: Filmed as a rehearsal run through performance during the Covid 19 pandemic, Henry VI: Part One introduces us to a young and reclusive Henry, who is proclaimed King of England after the death of his father, Henry V

Henry VI: Rebellion: As fighting and division in the corridors of power continues, and Henry’s hold on the English throne wavers, ordinary men and women start to speak out. But as the people rise in protest, who is behind their rebellion?

Henry VI: Wars of the Roses: In this thrilling climax, the tussle for the English crown escalates to the battlefield as the families of Lancaster and York drench their brutal conflict in sweat and blood.

"a bloody, unruly triumph" (The Daily Mail ★★★★)

"... these are craftsman-like versions of Shakespeare's interpretation of history, told with vigour and verve" (WhatsOn Stage ★★★★)
