King Henry VI, Part 3: RSC at the Swan Theatre, 2000. David Oyelowo as King Henry VI.

One of the most interesting discoveries in this production is that the medieval King Henry VI could be African. Such effects are typical of modern attempts to lend a weak script relevance to contemporary issues such as multiculturalism. Michael Boyd, director; Tom Piper, designer. Courtesy of AHDS ac.uk.
