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 a warrior and a hero. But at what cost?
In this riveting new production of Henry 5 from Bell Shakespeare, Shakespeare transcends good versus evil, right versus wrong to highlight the tensions between civilisation and barbarity. Directed by Marion Potts and starring dynamic newcomer JK Kazzi, this production is not to be missed.
