−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Henry the Sixth]]	+	''[[Henry VI]]'' is the collective name sometimes found for a trilogy of plays by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare], some of it possibly in collaboration with Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nash.
		+
		+	==The original text==
		+
		+	Based on the life of Henry VI of England (1421-1471)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI_of_England], it was one of a trilogy of plays written ''circa'' 1590/1591.
		+
		+	The trilogy (not necessarily written in this order) consists of:
		+
		+	''[[Henry VI, Part 1]]''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI,_Part_1],
		+
		+	''[[Henry VI, Part 2]]''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI,_Part_2]
		+
		+	''[[Henry VI, Part 3]]''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI,_Part_3].
		+
		+	They are also found as ''[[1 Henry VI]]'', ''[[2 Henry VI]]'' and ''[[3 Henry VI]]''.
		+
		+	Often a performance would simply be referred to as ''[[Henry VI]]'' of ''[[Henry the Sixth]]'' without specifying the particular play.
		+
		+	==Translations and adaptations==
		+
		+	== Performance history in South Africa ==
		+
		+
		+	1861: The first act of "Shakespeare's Splendid Tragedy ''[[Henry the Sixth]]''" was advertised for performance in the [[Theatre Royal]], Cape Town, on 16 December by a company led by [[Mrs Henderson]] and [[Mr Lamb]], the latter playing "Gloster" (i.e. "Gloucester"). Also performed were ''[[The Eddystone Elf]]'' (Pitt), some variéte acts and a "Pantomimic Sketch full of Hits and Skits on Cape Publicities and Peculiarities" (cited by [[F.C.L. Bosman\|Bosman]], 1980, p. 130, from the ''[[Cape Argus]]'' of 12 December, 1861). Given the fact that "Gloucester" is a character in the play, the text used was probably either ''[[1 Henry VI]]'' or ''[[2 Henry VI]]''.
