"Henry VI Part 3" revisits the late 1400's, when a series of wars for control of the throne set the House of Lancaster (symbolized by a red rose) against the House of York (symbolized by a white one).
This play is one of four in Shakespeare's canon ("Henry VI, Parts 1-3" and "Richard III") that deal with the horrors of these conflicts, which threw the stable country into pandemonium as families broke down and moral codes were vitiated for the sake of payback and power.
Hamilton Clancy's adaptation will dress the characters in suits, not armor. He explains, "This is the best play in the canon to reflect our current political polarization. The pitched battle between the two sides seems impossible to reconcile, and that is how we find the public discourse between Republicans and Democrats today."
