HENRY VI
Columbia School of Arts MFA Acting Cohort of 2024 Presents HENRY VI: Civil Wars - By William Shakespeare, Adapted by Kathryn Walsh
In this radically shortened re-telling, we bring you a story of conflict and rivalry at the very inner circle of power. The wealthy family Plantagenet and their assorted relations drag their world to war again and again because they want that little extra scrap of influence and prestige. Lost somewhere among the machinations is everyone else who has to fight and die on their behalf. Why do these people want power? What do they say they want it for? What might they do with it once it’s theirs? And for how long will they get to keep it?
October 4th @ 8pm
October 5th @ 8pm
October 6th @ 8pm
October 7th @ 2pm & 8pm
The performances are at The Theatre @ Schapiro. Located in Schapiro Hall, lower level. All seating is general.
Tickets are free, but please RSVP due to limited space.

Words Cubed is part of the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s new-play program that seeks to nurture and develop openly submitted, solicited, and commissioned plays by providing a professionally supported platform for readings, workshops, and fully realized productions as part of an ongoing commitment to create a diverse body of work.
Playwrights spend a week at the Festival in rehearsals with our actors and directors refining and rewriting their plays. At the end of the week, the revised plays are presented as staged readings or workshops, followed by a lively, interactive discussion between the playwright, actors, and audience.
