Tony Award-nominated theater luminary Austin Pendleton directs and adapts a new stage version of two Shakespeare plays. Featuring one of Shakespeare's darkest villains, Wars of the Roses: Henry VI & Richard III combines the text of Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 3 and Richard III.

Starring Pendleton as Henry VI and Matt de Rogatis as Richard III, the production explains how Richard III evolved into a tyrant. In Henry VI, Part 3, he pretends to be a subjugated good brother while secretly behaving with bloodthirsty abandon. Killing Henry, Richard then declares himself severed from a world of family and brotherhood; he stands alone in his quest for the crown.

In the text of Richard III, he is now the central character and villain of the play. Corrupt and sadistic, Richard stops at nothing to become king and, once there, keeps his subjects and rivals under his thumb. With the two texts combined, director Austin Pendleton's version of Richard III makes for a fascinating take on one of history's most notorious villains.

This limited engagement, three show revival features talkbacks with the cast and crew after each performance. Visit www.PROVEAVILLAIN.com for more information on this one of a kind Shakespearean experience!
