Summary of the Henry IV: I wanna be the king. I wanna be the king too. I also wanna be the king. Now I'm the king. No, I'm the king. No, I said I'm the king. I keel you. I keel you. I keel you.

this one was actually pretty good
lots of intrigue and drama as the court goes haywire
King Henry VI is being usurped by the Duke of York’s son King Edward who sucks. It goes back and forth of King Edward being on the throne and then having to run and lots of battles but King Henry VI is consistently imprisoned. Queen Margret his wife gets an army together from her home country France and does some damage to King Edward. Meanwhile Richard, King Edwards brother is scheming for the throne. After much back and forth Richard finally takes it into his own hands and kills King Henry VI and his son Prince Edward thus ending the threat. He then plans to murder his brothers and get the crown.

This gets a higher rating than the last two because Richard of Gloucester makes things more interesting (and deadly, but that's beside the point).

really enjoyed the scene of a man shouting with tears in his eyes about what a woman 'should be' to the woman who orders his death.

Very action-packed, even more than the first two. Ends with more resolution than the last two plays, but again includes the perfect set-up for the next one: Richard III.
