Henry VI Part 2 by William Shakespeare audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In Henry VI Part 2, England teeters on the edge of chaos as the young King Henry proves ill-suited to rule a nation fractured by ambition, faction, and resentment. At court, Queen Margaret fights fiercely to protect her husband's crown, while powerful nobles maneuver for influence, turning private rivalries into public threats. The Duke of Gloucester, long a pillar of the realm, faces enemies eager to undermine him, and the scheming Duke of Suffolk risks everything to keep his hold on power. As accusations, betrayals, and shifting alliances spread through London and beyond, the struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York sharpens into open confrontation. Beyond the palace walls, ordinary people feel the strain of corruption and inequality, and popular unrest flares into violent rebellion, revealing how quickly authority can crumble when trust is lost. With its mix of political intrigue, courtroom drama, and street-level upheaval, this history play traces the terrifying momentum of a country sliding toward civil war-and asks what happens when leadership fails, justice is manipulated, and power becomes the only law.
