Category: Henry VI Part 1

Thanks to Hailey Bachrach, who is providing the video introductions for all three Henry VI plays.

Hailey Bachrach is a PhD candidate at King’s College London and Shakespeare’s Globe, where she has also worked as a research assistant to the Globe Ensemble. She is also a dramaturg and drama critic, and her writing has appeared in Shakespeare Bulletin, Shakespeare Newsletter, Shakespeare’s Globe Blog, American Theatre Magazine, Oregon ArtsWatch, among others. 

Many thanks to my friend Joey Bianco of Whim Wham for the animated video elements.

Thanks to members of our Shakespeare 2020 Project Facebook group for these additional Henry VI Part 1 resources:

• A summary of the plot of Henry VI Part 1 via finger puppets (be ready for some silliness).
• A character map (and other resources) from Course Hero.
• If this is your thing, the entirety of Henry VI Part 1 as performed by LEGOs.
• An article about the Henry VI plays from group member Sara Plaskett.

Thanks for Dan Hainsworth for letting us use his Shakespeare icons, as shown above right.
