About this listen

Rife with intrigue and treachery, this history play depicts the onset of the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses between the houses of Lancaster and York.

Young King Henry VI has married the beautiful Margaret of Anjou but the new queen is ruthless and ambitious. Supported by the powerful Duke of Suffolk, Margaret plots the overthrow of her enemies, chief among them the Duke of Gloucester. But the Duke of York also aspires to the crown, and the common people, led by Jack Cade, are in rebellion. To the despair of the mild young king, England descends into civil war.

David Tennant plays Henry VI, and Kelly Hunter plays Queen Margaret. Norman Rodway is the Duke of Gloucester, Isla Blair the Duchess of Gloucester, and Clive Merrison plays the Duke of York.

Words words trumpets horns

Cast is great, narration excellent, but again as in part one, too much trumpets horns and bulges I find there is too much noise during dialog. But still looking forward to part iii.

Great performances, gripping play

Fabulous recording that makes the prose and politics seem ultra fresh and conveys the conflicted loyalties brilliantly
