- W1570268449 abstract "The long-neglected Henry VI plays have been 'rediscovered' by a number of post-warproductions which have found new ways of bringing Shakespeare's civil war plays to modernaudiences. The Wars of the Roses, directed by Peter Hall and adapted by Hall and John Barton,established the theatrical vitality of the plays and defined them for a generation as 'national'dramas. I argue that many of the most important and mythologised aspects of that productionwere contingent upon the difficult situation of the RSC in the early 1960s and that, in fact, the'tradition' of playing the Henry VI plays as national dramas is an invented one, based upon theTillyardian interpretation of them as 'matter of England' plays. Nevertheless, The Wars of theRoses has cast a massive shadow over subsequent productions of the Henry VI plays. Mostnotably, two productions in the late 1980s - the RSC's The Plantagenets and the ESC's The Warsof the Roses - were virtual revivals of the 1963 productions whilst even those that, at the time,seemed to be reacting against Hall and Barton - the RSC's trilogy of 1977 and the BBC'stetralogy of 1981/3 - in fact bore their influence in that they staged the plays as 'matter ofEngland' productions. 'England' took on a different meaning however after the election of theConservative Government in 1979. Mrs. Thatcher introduced market ideologies into the fundingof theatres and this forced rapid, radical and often unwelcome changes to the culture of the largetheatres: England became a divided and contested site and rubbed against the resolution that Halland Barton had sought in 1963. In the third chapter, I will examine in detail three 1980sproductions which were shaped by this situation, but also responded to, engaged with, andattempted to subvert the Thatcherite appropriation of national identity. Finally, I argue that all ofthese performances exhibit a deep anxiety about social changes and about the role ofShakespearean theatre within these changes." @default.
