  3. SHAKESPEARE’S EPIC HENRIAD: KING & COUNTRY | RALEIGH


A frivolous king. A reluctant prince. A country on the verge of collapse. The first two plays in Shakespeares history cycle chronicle the fall of the house of Plantagenet and the rise of the house of Lancaster to the British throne. After a faction of ambitious noblemen overthrow the young King Richard II, England is plunged into chaos and uncertainty. When the dust settles, there may be a new rulerbut at what cost?Richard II and Henry IV, Part 1 (also being performed in rep by a single company of actors) constitutes the first half of Shakespeares history tetralogyan epic tale of fathers and sons, loyalty and leadership, politics and power. It is the story of ordinary people weathering the winds of change in a fledgling nation. And it is a visceral reminder that history isnt past; its not even history at all. Each performance celebrates the beauty of song with live music during our pre-show event and at intermission.Sweet Tea Shakespeare is offering a Richard II ticket buyers a 50% discount on tickets to Henry IV.
