Instant Shakespeare Company To Present English History Cycle From Edward II Through Richard III

The Instant Shakespeare Company will present readings on Zoom from Edward II to Richard III by William Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Thirteen Plays covering English History from 1311 (approx.) through 1485 from Saturday October 9 through November 6. These will be presented on Zoom and livestreamed to the Instant Shakespeare Company on YouTube.

The Instant Shakespeare Company, dedicated to the proposition that Shakespeare is for Everyone!, will present readings of English history plays by William Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Between Saturdays October 9 and November 6 ISC will present a cycle of readings of 13 Elizabethan plays, in chronological sequence of subject, covering English history between the years 1311 (approx.) and 1485. Nine of the plays - in part or whole - are by William Shakespeare plus four others by his contemporaries Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Heywood, and an anonymous play that carries the subtitle "Richard II, Part One" dealing with the events that lead up to Shakespeare's play 'Richard II'.

As is usual for all ZOOM readings presented by the Instant Shakespeare. Company, videos of all 13 play readings will be posted on YouTube, as some of these plays are not otherwise available there.
