Details

Rose Rage is a new look at the Henry VI plays by William Shakespeare. Rose Rage condenses Shakespeare's trilogy into two parts, which can be seen either individually or as a double event. This cut version, performed by an all-male cast, is extremely exciting and accessible to modern audiences, so if you think Shakespeare isn't your thing...think again. A weak and reluctant King Henry VI agrees that after his death the crown shall pass to York and not to his own son. Henry's wife Queen Margaret raises an army to protect her son's claim.
