In this translation of \u003ci\u003eHenry VI, Part 2, \u003c\/i\u003e Douglas Langworthy follows the increasing tensions as the Duke of York foments rebellion against the crown. Langworthy's translation takes a deep dive into the language of Shakespeare. With a fine-tooth comb, he updates passages that are archaic and difficult to the modern ear, and matches them with the syntax and lyricism of the rest of the play, essentially translating archaic Shakespeare to match contemporary Shakespeare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eHenry VI, Part 2 \u003c\/i\u003ewas written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On  project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays.
