HENRY V
Directed by Andy Burden
Written by Shakespeare Edited by Andy Burden
Performed by Alan Coveney, Alex Dunbar, Dan Winter & Mark Ross
TOURING AUTUMN 2011
**** "an engaging drama bristling with the themes of the original...this new version adds a playful ingenuity and great spirit... things done simply, a determination to connect with the audience, a sense of humour... a liberating sense of a blank canvas....a great pace .... it's testimony to how much you can do with those ingredients, and just how far they can take you imaginatively" Guardian
"it works perfectly... Brilliantly, it never seems rushed and serves as both a fascinating reimagining for old hands and a vibrant introduction for those who think Shakespeare might not be for them" Venue
" a lesson to any would be actors and directors of how to create a full scale battle between two armies, in this case Agincourt, with just four actors at your disposal." Evening Post
Four soldiers tell the story of a king maturing to the demands of office. Playing each character with accurate skill, Shakespeare's classic history (and sometimes comedy) comes to life.
An energetic, exciting and rousing production, trimmed but faithful to Shakespeare's word
