The Wars of the Roses at the West Yorkshire Playhouse was a new adaptation by Barrie Rutter, the founder and artistic director of Yorkshire-based theatre company Northern Broadsides. The company is made up of actors from the north of England, specifically, and rather fittingly for this cycle of Shakespeare's first tetralogy, Yorkshire and Lancashire. Styled as Henry VI and Edward IV, the first two parts of the three-play cycle amalgamated the three Henry VI plays; the final play, Richard III, was Shakespeare's play as it is usually seen. The stage was the same for the three parts: a large, sandy colored thrust with two set pieces consisting of concrete plinths upstage right and a scaffolding balcony upstage left. Although on first entrance the set appeared like a building site, it is perhaps more appropriate to refer to it as a renovation site, a ruined building being refurbished, a work in progress. The costuming for the first two productions was working-clothes--tunics and trousers; lords wore long coats, each identified by a symbol on the left breast representing his seat. Although perhaps suggesting Celtic clothing, the costumes were actually difficult to place in time; Margaret for example looked rather modern in her military garb. The costumes changed to modern dress for Richard III, characters now wearing smart suits. Juxtaposed with the unchanging set, these costumes created a sense of history as an ongoing story that reinvents itself; the characters were transitory and impermanent, acting within a larger, more determined temporal scheme. The three plays represented a unified whole: the pieces overlapped, particularly in the adaptation of Henry VI, and they were clearly envisaged as a cycle rather than discrete plays. Rutter's title of The Wars of the Roses was apt in that the three productions were closely focused on representing the background to the civil wars, the civil war itself, and its after-effects: other extraneous events, such as the war in France, were reduced to the absolute minimum necessary. The first half of Henry VI offered a rapid succession of scenes to illustrate historical background. The scenes in France were mostly reduced to one-on-one fights between Talbot and Joan. The production at this point offered a kind of cartoon history: the plot was significantly reduced while continuing to represent a large part of English history. An abstract representation of battles was established here using dancing and music rather than hand-to-hand combat or sword-fighting. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
