Rose Rage – Part One

Rose Rage condenses Shakespeare’s trilogy Henry VI into two parts, each performed by an all-male cast. In Part One, the English nobility squabbles over control of the throne following the death of the legendary King Henry V, who leaves only an infant son as heir. Keen to claim the English crown as his own, Richard of York sets the people’s hero Jack Cade to raising a rebellion, and the country is thrown into turmoil. At the battle of St. Albans two mighty forces meet and begin a desperate contest for the throne.
