Harry the Sixth

The Globe's ambitious 2013 touring programme includes all of Shakespeare's 'Henry VI' trilogy, here redubbed 'Harry the Sixth', 'The Houses of York and Lancaster' and 'The True Tragedy of the Duke of York'. Directed by Nick Bagnall, the three shows will enjoy an eccentric tour that calls in at several major battlefields of the period. Or you can enjoy them from the relative comfort of the Globe. 'Harry…' homes in on an England reeling from the death of Henry V, locked in battle with the French and paralysed by intrigue as the houses of Lancaster and York vie for domination of infant monarch Harry.
