About the show

The rehearsal room run through of Henry VI Part One was streamed to audiences online in 2021. Beginning Shakespeare's Wars of the Roses trilogy, Henry VI Part One follows a young and reclusive Henry, who is proclaimed King of England after the death of his father. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we opened the virtual doors to our rehearsal rooms so audiences could see the work behind our live performances. Giving unprecedented access into the process of theatre-making, this was a unique opportunity to experience Shakespeare's early play, performed as a rehearsal room run through.
