King Henry the Sixth Part III, while not well known, is full of thought-provoking themes. The most significant among those for the purpose of my submission is the descent into lawlessness and immorality that comes with the two factions’ vying for control. Both sides of the warring are morally bankrupt, as both sides take cruel pleasure in doing wrong upon the other, and both justify it as being inconsequential due to their claim to the throne. The moral, political, and sometimes physical stability of the country is burning to the ground because of the greed and pride of these two groups, and that image of mass burning inspired the visuals for my set design. The setting is in a wild area, such as a forest or jungle, that has suffered a forest fire. The stage floor is made to resemble ashy soil, with black and white ash mixing into the naturally occurring brown. The structures to stage left and stage right represent the factions of Lancaster and York respectively, and both are in lighter, yet dull tones of marble and yellowed concrete to accentuate how foreign they are in what should be a lush, natural locale. The central set piece, which houses the throne, is the last remaining example of natural beauty, and takes on the form of a pile of mossy boulders. The colors of the moss and other plant life growing from the stones are rich and appealing, accentuating the destruction the infighting has wrought on the country.
