Henry VI(2015)

Henry VI is a theatrical adaptation by Thomas Jolly and La Piccola Familia of Shakespeare's epic trilogy. The three plays chronicle fifty years of English royal turmoil, spanning eighty scenes and twelve thousand verses. Set against the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of the Roses, Henry VI follows the violent power struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster as they tear the kingdom apart. The drama unfolds through palace intrigue, battlefield carnage, and shifting allegiances that define one of England's most fractured periods. Jolly's ambitious cycle captures Shakespeare's sprawling narrative of ambition, betrayal, and the human cost of dynastic conflict, transforming the 1592 text into a visceral exploration of how kingdoms crumble when noble families prioritize power over peace.
