If you are following along at home with shakespeareyear.com, we’ll be reading Henry VI, Part III for July 2015. You don’t have to read Parts I and II to appreciate Henry VI, Part III, but some familiarity with the plots and characters of those plays will certainly help.

As a primer, you can check out these shakespeareyear.com posts:

Through the month, I’ll post information about (or related to) the play. And by the end of the month, I’ll post my own notes about my experience reading the play.

Feel free to add your comments to this post. Let me know what you think!

As an aside: I recently saw a wonderful production of Othello by the Seattle Shakespeare Company to end the 2014-15 season. Darragh Kennan (pictured), one of my favorite Shakespearean actors, played Iago.  I’m looking forward the summer outdoor Shakespeare season that starts this month.
