Medieval battlefields host the plays of William Shakespeare

AdministratorAugust 4, 2013

In Britain, there's a lot of interest in a previously little examined period of history; the 15th century and the feuds known as the War of the Roses. Some of Shakespeare's plays set during the same period have just opened a new run, but this time acted out on the actual battlefields where they are set. Lars Bevanger went along to the premiere at the Towton Battlefield in the North of England.
