Shakespeare's historic war plays to be produced on battlefields across the country
Shakespeare's Globe will perform the bard's three Henry VI plays at historic battle sites of the Wars of the Roses.
As part of its new season, the theatre will stage the plays at Towton, Tewkesbury, St Albans and Barnet, which were all sites where battles took place.
The plays – billed under their original titles: Harry The Sixth, The Houses of York and Lancaster and The True Tragedy of the Duke of York – will be directed by Nick Bagnall and embark on a tour from June 26 until September 26....
