The first part of the Wars of the Roses tetralogy, Rockspeare Henry Sixth Part One or 1H6 was presented in October 2023. Part Two is in the same universe where the music inherent in Shakespeare’s poetry is amplified with an original soundscape. The result is not a musical but Shakespeare as you've never seen it, or heard it. Here, the history plays are recast as political dramas in a rock, steampunk world. The plot of Part Two kicks off with King Henry’s marriage to the penniless Margaret and the English court’s reaction. The nobility and Margaret herself plot against the King. As tensions between the houses of York and Lancaster build, the Duchess of York gathers supporters for her claim to the throne. As part of York’s secret rebellion, we meet her three sons, including Richard who will become the notorious Richard III. They overpower the House of Lancaster and Henry is forced to flee.
