Shakespeare Network | Edward IV - David Warner - Peggy Ashcroft - Ian Holm - The War of The Roses II - 1965 - 4K @ShakespeareNetwork | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Edward IV - The War of The Roses Part II - Adaptation John Barton - Directed by Peter Hall & John Barton. Originally aired: 15 April 1965
Content: A newly written scene followed by 2 Henry VI from Act 4, Scene 1 (the introduction of Jack Cade) onwards, and an abridged version of 3 Henry VI.
The production starred David Warner as Henry VI, Peggy Ashcroft as Margaret of Anjou, Janet Suzman as Joan la Pucelle and Lady Anne and Ian Holm as Richard III.
The Wars of the Roses was a 1963 theatrical adaptation of William Shakespeare's first historical tetralogy (1 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI and Richard III), which deals with the conflict between the House of Lancaster and the House of York over the throne of England, a conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. The plays were adapted by John Barton, and directed by Barton and Peter Hall at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
In 1965, the BBC adapted the plays for television. The broadcast was so successful that they were shown again, in a differently edited form, in 1966. In 1970, BBC Books published the play scripts along with extensive behind-the-scenes information written by Barton and Hall, and other members of the Royal Shakespeare Company who worked on the production.
Rewriting
The most significant initial alteration to the original text was to conflate the four plays into a trilogy. This was not unprecedented, as adaptations from the seventeenth century onwards had employed truncation when staging the sequence, especially the Henry VI trilogy.
In 1965, BBC 1 broadcast all three plays from the trilogy - "Henry VI" - "Edward IV" - "Richard III". The TV adaptation was shot following the 1964 run of the plays at Stratford-upon-Avon, and took place over an eight-week period, with fifty-two BBC staff working alongside eighty-four RSC staff to bring the project to fruition.
