The Arts Society Enfield: Shakespeare’s Monarchs - Power or Progress?
Thursday 30 October 2025 10.30am
Enfield Baptist Church, Cecil Road, EN2 6TG
Speaker: Gabriel Chanan
Are Shakespeare’s depictions of English kings all variations on the same theme of a battle for the crown, or do they in some sense progress?
Using images, quotations and thematic diagrams, this lecture shows first how the eight core history plays join up into a continuous story. We will then look at the way the focus moves from battles and revenge, triumph and defeat, to questioning of the justification and accountability of power by looking at them in the order in which they were written.
