Stairwell Theater Announces HENRY VI: PART 1 at Park Slope's Old Stone House

Stairwell Theater has announced their upcoming run of William Shakespeare's Henry VI: Part 1 at Park Slope's Old Stone House. The first of a planned four plays running through Richard III, Henry VI: Part 1 features puppetry, music, and daring maneuvers. Join Stairwell as they interrogate the subject of foreign wars - and the havoc they wreak on the world.

What comes of incessant war?

The greatest king England has ever known is dead. Now, during the bloody conflict of the One Hundred Years' War, England enters into a dangerous transfer of power, just as a new champion arises on the French side. Can the English Lord Talbot defeat the young upstart, Joan of Arc?
