Inhalt:

The Wars of the Roses is a compelling version of the RSC s landmark production of William Shakespeare s Henry VI trilogy and Richard lII. Adapted and directed for the stage by Peter HaII and John Barton, The Wars of the Roses was acknowledged on its premiere in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1963 as one of defining Shakespeare productions of the post-war years. Working with a steIIar cast including lan Holm, Peggy Ashcroft, David Warner and Janet Suzman, HaIl and Barton conjured up a vivid medievaI 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 pIays 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 rareIy been equaIled by Shakespeare on television. The Wars of the Roses is presented here in its original form, as three pIays first broadcast in 1965 and unseen since then. RecentIy digitally restored, the trilogy can now be recognised as one of the greatest achievements of the RoyaI Shakespeare Company and of British television 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 Daily MaiI that is was a production of epic, majestic grandeur, a Iandmark and a beacon in post-war EngIish theatre.
