"For its debut performance, the Midlantic Theatre Company
took all three parts of Shakespeare's "Henry VI" and
condensed it into one play, clocking in at 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Never has the War of the Roses been this fast, and this thrilling.
The end result is sharp, well-paced and extremely well-acted.
... Scenes of Queen Margaret relishing her victory over the slimy
Duke of York; the rebel Jack Cade dispensing his version of justice
with his band of misfits; and Richard, son of York, turning into
the villainous Richard the Third before our very eyes are all
breathtaking. With this production, Midlantic has caught lightning
in a bottle, but unlike lightning, I hope it will strike again.
I await its next production with great anticipation." -

that the scene selection made sense."
