Blood, Treachery, and the Fight for the CrownAtlas Shakespeare Company Presents Shakespeare’s Rarely PerformedHenry VI, Part 3Limited Engagement Runs October 7–12 at The Wild Project“Adriana Alter’s expertise shines throughout this adaptation like a beacon in the darkness of contemporary theater…In the end, what makes this production so successful is its recognition that Shakespeare’s early work deserves to be approached not as a historical curiosity or academic exercise but as a living drama.” – Henry VI, Part 1 & 2, Opening Night Online After a critically acclaimed summer run of William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Parts 1 & 2, Atlas Shakespeare Company returns to the stage with the sequel: Henry VI, Part 3. Set during the bloody Wars of the Roses, Henry VI, Part 3 is a thrilling exploration of power, betrayal, and the brutal cost of civil war. This limited engagement runs October 7–12, 2025, at The Wild Project in New York City, under the direction of Artistic Director Adriana Alter. An unwilling king. An unraveling country. And now, an unstoppable force…coming to claim the throne. Shakespeare’s least-performed play blazes with shattered oaths and obsessive vendettas. In this blood-soaked chronicle of the Wars of the Roses, there are no heroes, the crown is a curse, and mercy is always a mistake. Don’t miss the rare chance to experience this dark, urgently-paced melodrama about ambition, betrayal, and revenge, featuring medieval costumes, live sword fights, and a severed head—not to mention the future Richard III! The cast features Ryan Molloy as King Henry VI, Charlotte Blacklock, Chris Clark, Zachary C. Clark, Timm Coleman, Yeshua Robert Ellis, Gabe Girson, Nick Grevera, Clayton Hamburg, Alexander Nero, Leah Schwartz, Christa Sousa, William Oliver Watkins, and Reid Watson. The creative team includes Jevyn Nelms (costumes), Nicholas Grevera (lights), and Leah Schwartz (fight choreography). Henry VI, Part 3 runs October 7 – 12 with performances Tuesday – Saturday at 7pm, and matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.
