Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein, a renowned Shakespeare scholar, is writing the adaptation and will direct the “Henry 6" production. James Shapiro, who is Shakespeare Scholar in Residence at New York’s Public Theater and has written several books on the playwright, will serve as a consultant on the project.
To lay the groundwork for “Henry 6,” the Globe will present a yearlong program of free, citywide arts engagement programs and humanities events leading up to the production. To expand access, the Globe also plans to offer reduced-price and free tickets to the plays, and the Globe will offer outreach programs for community members who want to participate in the creation of “Henry 6.”
