Shakespeare's magnificent exploration of the lives and deaths of England's Kings is one of mankind's crowning artistic achievements. Over the next few years, the ASC will perform each of Shakespeare's ten extraordinary history plays. Each play is, by itself, complete and brilliantly theatrical -- and together they tell the astonishing story of the English Crown -- and the story of us. Our history: Our lives. Our world. Our Shakespeare.

Our series The Histories: The Rise and Fall of Kings will present all of Shakespeare's history plays. In fall 2010, Henry IV, Part 2 continues the story of King Henry, Falstaff, and Prince Hal. Next year we continue The Histories with Henry V.

Simultaneously, during our Actors’ Renaissance Season, we explore the Wars of the Roses, continuing in the 2011 Renaissance Season with Henry VI, Part 3 and in 2012 with Richard III.

You won't want to miss the chance to see some of Shakespeare's most exciting work, so please join us for all the plays in this series. For the best seats, get your tickets now.
