A review by leslie115
Henry VI Part 2 by William Shakespeare
3.0
3.5 stars. What a gruesome, bloody play. But I liked the eloquence of the Lieutenant.
2021 reread: Emma Smith's lecture on this play helps me appreciate this early history more, with her consideration of whether it can stand alone. Watching the 1983 BBC production, however, emphasizes the strength of Queen Margaret and potential power (and chaos) of mobs. The latter especially resonated with me because of the Jan 6 insurrection.
