Fifth Annual FREE Shout-Out Shakespeare Series:

King Henry VI: The Wars of the Roses
adapted from William Shakespeare
by director Stephanie Shine

Mid-South Premiere
generously sponsored by Evans/Petree, P.C.
September 15 – October 2

The Duke of Somerset plucks a red rose, and the Duke of York plucks a white. As fellow English nobles declare their loyalty, civil dissent blooms into a war of ungodly proportions. Joan of Arc frees France from dead Henry V’s conquest while England’s new King Henry VI is more suited to prayer than leadership.  With England’s leadership now up for grabs, there is so much heart-stopping action that Shakespeare needed three plays to tell the story.  But we bring it to you in one, free, 90-minute show!  Follow the famed Wars of the Roses to its riveting conclusion driven by loyalty and deceit, love and family, and an unfailing ambition to win the throne.  No tickets required; but bring a chair, blanket, and picnic.
