Henry VI: Part One

The greatest king England has ever known is dead. Now, during the bloody conflict of the One Hundred Years' War, England enters into a dangerous transfer of power, just as a new champion arises on the French side. Can the English Lord Talbot defeat the young upstart, Joan of Arc?

Stairwell Theater presents the rarely seen first section of Shakespeare's Henry VI trilogy at the historic Old Stone House. Bring a picnic blanket, refreshments, and snacks, and settle into this thrilling war play featuring military music, puppets, and derring-do.

NOTE: This production features bright lights, smoke, loud noises, and rambunctious puppets. We request that all unvaccinated audience members wear masks.
