The Henry VI plays are Shakespeare's earliest, most theatrically exciting plays and in their day, they were among his most popular works. This is the first major study of the Henry VI plays in performance, and focuses on the cultural context of modern British productions which have explored Shakespeare's troubling depiction of England.
