Shalin Liu Performance Center: Stratford Shakespeare Festival in HD: King John

Description

War is the inevitable result when the King of France demands that John relinquish his crown in favour of his nephew, the young Prince Arthur. Excommunication, attempted atrocity, rebellion and assassination all contribute to a political and personal turmoil that finds devastating expression in an anguished mother's grief for her son. ''Superb'' Chicago Tribune ''Truly electric…the political machinations are delicious!'' Toronto Star
