Shakespeare's Histories in Audio

By: Brave Spirits Theatre
  • Summary

  • Shakespeare’s epic eight-play saga captures the cyclical nature of violence and history, while showcasing poignant domestic stories of families and their divided loyalties. In the first half, The King's Shadow, Prince Hal indulges in a reckless adolescence until he must unite his country by becoming the legendary King Henry V. In the second half, The Queen's Storm, Margaret of Anjou, a princess from lands abroad, faces threats and treachery from every direction as she rises to become England's queen.
