Shakespeare's Henry 6 plays are one of the great undiscovered gems of Western Literature. An intoxicating mix of violence, politics and romance, this civil war is as machiavellian as Succession and as brutal as Game of Thrones. Henry 6 is a rare thing - a religious pacifist in a time of war and his wife the opposite - a ferocious mother willing to destroy an entire country to protect those she loves. But family and country are going to unravel, and a gleefully malicious Richard of Gloucester is waiting in the wings to take advantage of this chaos. The Breath of Kings is a rare chance to see these plays in all their glory. Burning House will bring their unique blend of ambition and insight to a repertoire season of the Henry 6 plays and Richard 3, with more adventurous audience members able to watch all plays in a massive five hour long event on weekends. This is theatre at its most ambitious and exciting - and for those of you missing big, festival epics The Breath of Kings is here to deliver.
