King Henry V wages war on France and his own reputation as he learns to bear the uneasy burden of the crown. This live-streamed production explores identity, authority, history, and privilege, and asks how far a good man will go to be a good king.
Forget about “The Queen, “The Favourite,” or “The Crown”—Shakespeare has been serving up royal drama for over 400 years. In HENRY V, a young monarch with a checkered past wages war on France and his own reputation. As he moves from battle to battle, wielding swords and words with equal skill, Henry must discover for himself whether a good man can also be a good king. Directed by returning guest artist Stephanie Weeks, this virtual re-imagining of HENRY V will be performed live and streamed online for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
Complimentary admission available for high school students, as well as for high school teachers reserving admission on behalf of their classes.
