About the Show

In What Dreams May Come's two-part repertory production of Shakespeare's history, audiences are invited to play witness to Henry's fall, Richard's rise, and who triumphs only when good people do nothing.

This modern dystopia inspired design transports audiences to a land at war with itself. An England torn apart by personal squabbles and petty jealousy. A place where ineffectual leadership, incompetence, and a lack of compassion lead to a people divided by greed, lust, and hatred and give rise to the worst of humanity's nature.
