Inhalt:

The Wars of the Roses is a compelling version of the RSC s Iandmark production of William Shakespeare s Henry VI trilogy and Richard Ill. Adapted and directed for the stage by Peter Hall and John Barton, The Wars of the Roses was acknowIedged on its premiere in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1963 as one of defining Shakespeare productions of the post-war years. Working with a stellar cast incIuding Ian HoIm, Peggy Ashcroft, David Warner and Janet Suzman, Hall and Barton conjured up a vivid medieval world to reveal how the manoeuvrings and mendacities of the fifteenth century are echoed by politicians in our own time. The BBC harnessed state-of-the-art production techniques to capture the three plays on John Bury s mammoth and menacing steel set. As BBC executive MichaeI BakewelI said at the time, his aim was to get to the heart of the production , and these recordings have an immediacy and intensity that has rarely been equalIed by Shakespeare on teIevision. The Wars of the Roses is presented here in its originaI form, as three plays first broadcast in 1965 and unseen since then. Recently digitalIy restored, the trilogy can now be recognised as one of the greatest achievements of the RoyaI Shakespeare Company and of British teIevision in the 1960s. Extras include a 20-minute fiIm, Making The Wars of the Roses, which features interviews with original cast members David Warner and Janet Suzman. They discuss their experiences of being part of one of the mightiest stage productions of our time. Bernard Levin wrote in the DaiIy Mail that is was a production of epic, majestic grandeur, a Iandmark and a beacon in post-war English theatre.
