Part of the second half of Shakespeare’s Histories, The Queen’s Storm
With threats from abroad put to rest, the English court turn their blades upon one another as schemes and betrayals take center stage. Newly married to King Henry VI, Queen Margaret faces adversity from every direction as she fortifies her husband’s fragile rule. Meanwhile, her greatest adversary, the cunning Richard Plantagenet, ignites his master plan to claim the throne and unleashes a domestic threat waiting to explode: the enraged masses.
