San Diego Shakespeare Society Staged Reading: "Henry VI" (Part One)
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

Description
King Henry is a child, so everyone tries to control him. Plantagenet and Somerset hate each other. After a war, Henry marries a woman he has never met. Oh, and Joan of Arc is in it too.
After Henry V’s death and while Henry VI is young, nobles rule England and fight the French, including Joan of Arc. As Henry VI becomes King, the noble houses begin to divide and take sides between York and Lancaster. The war with France winds down, and the nobles try to find Henry a wife and disagree about who Henry chooses.
