“The game’s afoot: follow your spirit, and upon this charge cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’”
God save the king?
Civil unrest, trouble with Europe, and the death of our monarch… it’s not 2022 but the late fifteenth century, and a young, newly crowned king is eager to assert his control of the United Kingdom in Shakespeare’s (in)famous Henry V.
When a humiliating message arrives from overseas, a bruised ego leads Henry to double down on a military invasion, at a devastating cost. Join us as we explore Henry V’s bombastic pursuit of power, and what it means to be English.
A production by Royal & Derngate, Northampton, Shakespeare’s Globe and Headlong with Leeds Playhouse, directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan (Corrina, Corrina, Liverpool Everyman; Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s Globe)
