Description
Restlessly interrogating and updating Shakespeare’s classics for the modern world, Bell Shakespeare returns with a new production of Henry 5. Shakespeare’s questions of how one navigates leadership and culpability, judges heroic acts, and reconciles different truths, come squarely into a 21st-century lens.
Young Prince Hal has left his wayward adolescence behind and assumed the mantle of kingship. Following a humiliating insult by the French prince, King Henry launches England into a war with France to claim the throne he believes is rightfully his. Against all odds, he leads his troops from despair to climactic victory at the Battle of Agincourt. He is hailed as a warrior and a hero. But at what cost?
For more than thirty five years, Bell Shakespeare has taken theatre to audiences old and young around Australia, using Shakespeare’s universal insights to inspire and connect with each generation. This riveting new production is directed by Marion Potts (Othello, Hamlet), and stars dynamic newcomer JK Kazzi.
