Drama
Written and produced by Gamut’s Stage Door Series Ensemble
Give the Stage Door Ensemble two hours—and they’ll give you two hundred years of battles, beheadings, and bastard sons as the houses of York and Lancaster slug it out for control of the monarchy, a conflict that only ends with the death of the last Lancastrian king and the ascension of the Tudor dynasty.
Join Gamut’s Stage Door Ensemble for a weekend of park-show prequel as they present their original staged reading, Dreadful Marches to Delightful Measures: A Staged Reading of Shakespeare’s Wars of the Roses. By carefully selecting scenes from Shakespeare’s history plays (Richard II through Henry VI, Part 3) and mixing in a little genealogy and some historical perspective, Stage Door will take you through the Wars of the Roses until (almost) the bitter end, setting the scene for the bloody conclusion that is Richard III.
