Henry VI Part III was directed by Michael Boyd as part of the History Cycle. 


Civil strife, bloody battles and power struggles provide the backdrop for Shakespeare's compelling depiction of a divided nation and a king in turmoil.

Henry VI Part III - The Chaos
Henry VI concedes the House of York shall inherit the crown after his death, angering his wife who fights for the House of Lancaster. Fathers kill sons, sons kill fathers. The House of York prevails and Edward IV is crowned, unaware that his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is plotting his downfall.
