Overview

The Wars of the Roses was a 1963 theatrical adaptation of William Shakespeare's first historical tetralogy (1 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI & Richard III), which deals with the conflict between the House of Lancaster & the House of York over the throne of England, a conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. The plays were adapted by John Barton, and directed by Barton himself & Peter Hall at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The plays were heavily politicized, with Barton and Hall allowing numerous contemporaneous events of the early 1960s to inform their adaptation. The production was a huge critical & commercial success, and is generally regarded as revitalizing the reputation of the Henry VI plays in the modern theatre. Many critics feel The Wars of the Roses set a standard for future productions of the tetralogy which has yet to be surpassed. The 1965 broadcast was so successful that they were shown again, as 11 episodes, each 50 minutes long, in 1966.

Overview

The Wars of the Roses var en filmatisering från 1963 av William Shakespeares första historiska tetralogi (1 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI & Richard III), som handlar om konflikten mellan House of Lancaster och House of York. Englands tron, en konflikt känd som Wars of the Roses. Pjäserna anpassades av John Barton och regisserades av Barton själv och Peter Hall på Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Pjäserna var kraftigt politiserade, med Barton och Hall som lät många samtidiga händelser i början av 1960-talet informera om deras anpassning. Produktionen var en stor kritisk och kommersiell framgång och anses allmänt återuppliva Henry VI-pjäsens rykte i den moderna teatern. Många kritiker anser att The Wars of the Roses sätter en standard för framtida produktioner av tetralogin som ännu inte har överträffats. Sändningen 1965 var så framgångsrik att de visades igen, som 11 avsnitt, vart och ett 50 minuter långt, 1966.
