Download M4B 47MB. Whereas 1 Henry VI deals primarily with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, and 3 Henry VI deals with the horrors of that conflict, 2 Henry VI focuses on the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, the death of his trusted King Henry VI: Pt. 2 Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, the rise of King Henry VI: Pt. 2 Duke of York and the inevitability of armed conflict. Henry VI may be viewed as a study in insurrection, which moves from the private and personal jostlings in the court in Part 1 to outright civil war in Part 3. In Part 2 the discord between prominent state officials, notably Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, spreads to the common people, fomenting an abortive rebellion, lead by the rascally Kentishman, Jack Cade. With the death of Humphrey, the period of regency for the naive Henry effectively comes to an end, and the unworldly monarch is helplessly exposed to the interminable strife between the factions of the houses King Henry VI: Pt. 2 York and of Lancaster. The structure of the play differs from the other two parts in that there is a central rustic idyll Act 4populated by clownish characters, which recalls the idyllic centrepieces of comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It. The plays with the effective deposition of Henry, who is later re-installed as king in Part 3 by the influential Earl of Warwick. Summary by Wikipedia and Algy Pug.

Five years on the country is in the midst of civil war with Suffolk and Buckingham among the casualties at the King Henry VI: Pt. 2 of St Albans and the triumphant Plantagenet claiming the throne for the Yorkists. To avoid further bloodshed Henry agrees to make Plantagenrt his heir on his death, angering queen Margaret, who shocks her husband with a violent counter action. However the Yorkists triumph with Edward IV crowned king. Henry, descending into madness, is imprisoned in the Tower of London whilst Margaret and her son seek sanctuary in France. Yet Edward is not without his opponents, led by Margaret, whom he routs at the battle of Tewkesbury, aided by his brothers George, Duke of Clarence and Richard of Gloucester, a victory which will seal Henry's fate since Richard has ambitions of his own. Written by don minifie Picking up right after the end of the previous film, this half closes out the battle between King Henry VI: Pt. 2 and Plantagenet reasonably quickly and moves its focus back to the throne itself. Once beyond this we move to the push and reign of Edward before it then concludes in King Henry VI: Pt. 2 way that sets up the next episode of Richard III. I do not know the text well enough to confirm, but it feels like a lot was cut out of this film, and that a lot of violence and speed was put in its place. It does work in this regard, but the downside is that a lot of characters feel small when they are probably not; in particular the rise of Edward feels like a placeholder necessary to setup the next film with the bigger star. The speed that the tension of the first film is resolved adds to this feeling because it brings in Richard, who we already know will be the focus of the third film, and the film does seem to play into this - although of course the material is structured more or less this way, but the film leans that way. King Henry VI: Pt. 2 doesn't help that Edward is played out beside two very strong performances in Okonedo and Cumberbatch, as well as others in smaller roles Townsend for example. As a total film it also spends a lot more time on battles than the first film did, and it does feel like the language is stripped back to make room for this; the characters being known from the first film cover for this, but there is a lot of beheading and violence, which works in terms of making everything feel very accessible and lively, but also feels unnecessary because the performances had done well enough to show the tension and stakes. It is still an engaging, dramatic, and accessible film, but it does feel a bit like it is not as strong as the first film, and that it is building to the final one.

See the full list. Following his father's early death and the loss of possessions in France young Henry VI comes to the throne, under the protection of the duke of Gloucester. He is unaware that there are other claimants to the throne, Plantagent of York and Somerset of Lancaster, whose factions will ultimately cause the Wars of the Roses. Ignorant of the schisms Henry tries to unite them in the Hundred Years War, capturing King Henry VI: Pt. 2 of Arc, before he marries Margaret of Anjou to unite England and King Henry VI: Pt. 2, but there is no dowry, angering the court. Margaret finds the pious Henry a dull husband and embarks upon an affair with Somerset as well as crossing Gloucester's wife Eleanor. When Gloucester is arrested for alleged treason because of Eleanor Henry is too feeble to prevent his death or the country slipping into civil war. While not one of my favourite plays of William Shakespeare perhaps mainly because of only getting acquainted with it fairly recently'King Henry VI' is still very interesting. It is one of his longest and most mature, and has memorable characters and dialogue. The above quote is only one example of great lines and there are stronger contender admittedly for best lines, this was pick quote out of the hat-like really. King Henry VI: Pt. 2 BBC Television Shakespeare series is interesting, for having productions of all of his plays and for seeing fine actors that were already experienced in Shakespeare or were early on in their careers, even if it is also not a consistent one. Most are decent to brilliant, though it is not without its disappointments the weakest as far as the previous productions of the series King Henry VI: Pt. 2 being 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Am beginning with the good things, King Henry VI: Pt. 2 started with the bad things in King Henry VI: Pt. 2 review for the also good if not great first part. Of which this production of the second part is a marginal improvement on, having not liked Brenda Blethyn's interpretation of Joan personal opinion of course and probably not shared with some and she is not here. Some people have problems with Peter Benson in the title role, am going to continue being one of those in defense of him. He is too old for the title role, but brings a lot of authority and sincerity to it. It was an intriguing and brave move having most of the cast doubling roles, and King Henry VI: Pt. 2 do very, very well bringing contrasting personalities to them. Ron Cook also makes his first appearance as Richard III, before he became king, and it's a promising one. Paul Chapman fares strongly too as Suffolk. Felt that the costumes were at least tasteful and were more appealing on the eye, while the staging is on the most part done with a lot of spirit and thought, avoiding being cluttered or having overblown speactacle that would potentially swamp the drama and there is enough momentum and action to avoid the static trap on the most part, it is not completely avoided. Jack Cade's commanding rebellion scenes are indeed among the stirring scenes of the series. The emotional impact is there and a lot of it is to do with Shakespeare's writing being so good and that the cast speak and act King Henry VI: Pt. 2 so wonderfully. The camera work has enough intimacy while not being too restricted. However, am still not one of the biggest of fans of the production values, well the sets really, even with the more abstract look which had the potential to make it more interesting it did look drab and under-budgeted. Not the most appealing or interesting productions to look at from personal tastes. The staging at times could have opened up more, as parts are on the stagy and static side so there are a few dull patches. Julia Foster's Margaret also came over as insipid and like she didn't want to be there. Summing up, another good if not great production. Looking for something to watch?
