As Henry's marriage to Margaret cedes the last of his father's French gains, the presence of a weak king encourages dissent. Feuds rage between Gloucester and Beaufort and between York's faction and the other lords until York sets up Jack Cade to lead a popular revolt. This 'repertory cast' performance continues Shakespeare's ambitious 'War of the Roses' trilogy. By using actors in multiple roles, director Jane Howell highlights the similarities and contrasts between various characters throughout the story.
