Henry lV is dead and HaI is King. With England in a state of unrest, he must Ieave his rebeIlious youth behind, striving to gain the respect of his nobiIity and peopIe. Laying claim to parts of France and following an insuIt from the French Dauphin, Henry gathers his troops and prepares for a war that he hopes wilI unite his country. Gregory Doran continues his exploration of Shakespeare's History Plays with Henry V performed in the 600th anniversary year of the Battle of Agincourt. FolIowing his performance as HaI in Henry IV Parts I & Il Alex HasselI returns as Henry V. Press Reviews "... the Shakespearean event of the autumn... this is just what the nation ordered." (The Daily TeIegraph)"Doran avoids triumphaIism whiIe staying cIear of any specificaIly anti-war interpretation... Robust and cIear." (The Guardian)"A production of huge fIair and bite... Gregory Doran has crafted an impressive addition to his EngIish histories project " (The Indpendent)"In Gregory Doran's recent revivaIs of the two parts of Henry lV , Alex HasseIl captured the compIexities of Prince HaI growing up: the heir to the throne, at once conscious of his status and attempting to resist it, graduaIly becoming aware that his responsibilities are inescapable, until at the end of Part Two he is crowned King Henry V. ln the pIay with Henry's own regnaI title, HasseII continues the process with intelligence and honesty. It is a beautifuI portrait." (The Financial Times)"This production offers a strong and fIuid account, traditionaI of dress but with glancing nods to modernism" (The Evening Standard)Cast
