Henry VI - Part Two

In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors. As Henry's marriage to Margaret cedes the last of his father's French gains, the presence of a weak king encourages dissent. Feuds rage between Gloucester and Beaufort and between York's faction and the other lords until York sets up Jack Cade to lead a popular revolt. By using actors in multiple roles, director Jane Howell highlights the similarities and contrasts between various characters throughout the story.

  Your request for a review is ironic as I recently informed you that I had returned the above DVD unwatched because I wasn't sent - Part 1 first.
