The first edition of Henry VI, Part II was printed in 1594 as “The firste parte of the Contention of the two famous houses of York and Lancaster.” Nearly 430 years later – and on the heels of King Charles III’s coronation – Shakespeare & Company has given the original Game of Thrones a modern abbreviation, as it explores themes of loyalty that remain timeless: strategic marriages, political treachery, religious unrest, and a measure of “comic sport.” Commonly regarded as the strongest of the Henry VI trilogy, The Contention centers on the War of the Roses, a murder plot, and a rebellion that widens the divide between two houses.
