Henry VI

Thomas Jolly and his troupe, La Piccola Familia, have embarked on a creative cycle based on the written epic "Henry VI." This monumental work by William Shakespeare, published in 1592, consists of three plays, 80 scenes, and 12,000 verses that recount the 50-year reign of this king of England. Against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War and the internal strife linked to the civil war of the "Two Roses," this dramatic episode in English history saw the royal houses of York and Lancaster torn apart in the race for power.

Directed by Thomas Jolly, Henry VI leans on a strong ensemble — Johann Abiola, Damien Avice, Bruno Bayeux — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
