Overview

Henry V by William Shakespeare.

Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) plays Henry V in William Shakespeare’s play of the same name, a study of nationalism, war and the psychology of power. Shortly after ascending to the throne, King Henry V launches England into a bloody war with France. When his campaign encounters resistance, the young and inexperienced ruler must prove that he has the skills to lead the country through a war. Max Webster (Life of Pi) directs a modern, exciting production, exploring what it means to be English and how English people relate to Europe, while at the same time asking: do we ever get the leaders we deserve?
