‘The game’s afoot’
Civil unrest, trouble with Europe, the death of a monarch… Experience Shakespeare’s unnervingly relevant Henry V in a production that offers a different perspective on England’s hero.
Henry, the young and newly crowned king, is impatient to assert control over the people of England. Having received a humiliating gift from overseas, his bruised ego leads him to double down on a military invasion abroad in a bid to expand his green and pleasant land. But at what devastating cost?
Direct from its critically-acclaimed run in Shakespeare’s Globe‘s intimate, indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, witness Henry’s bombastic pursuit of power, throwing into question what it really means to be English.
A Production by Leeds Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe and Headlong with Royal & Derngate, Northampton, directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan (Corrina, Corrina, Liverpool Everyman; Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s Globe).
