Viac o knihe

The narrative centers on King Henry VI, who, while embodying gentleness and spirituality, becomes vulnerable due to his disinterest in politics. His marriage to Margaret of Anjou, orchestrated by Suffolk, sets the stage for courtly power struggles, particularly with the influential Duke of Gloucester. As tensions rise, the Duke's murder ignites a series of tragic events, culminating in the War of the Roses. This dynamic play delves into themes of leadership, power, and the quest for liberty amidst political turmoil.
