Henry VI, Parts 1, 2 & 3: Director: Adrian Noble; Designer Bob Crowley; Photographer, Donald Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts); Royal Shakespeare Company, October 1988.

"At the start of the sequence, the funeral of Henry V, the stage is decorated with wall hangings composed of flags: the splendid panoply of the victorious nation he had established. With the accession of the ascetic Henry VI, a figure in white monk-like robes becomes the surprising new focal point of this vividly dyed world. Instead of martial fanfares, the thin purity of Gregorian chant rises in the air." Peter Kemp, Independent 3.4.89 Opening Date: 22 October 1988, Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
