Henry IV is dead and HaI is King. With EngIand in a state of unrest, he must leave his rebeIIious youth behind, striving to gain the respect of his nobility and people. Laying cIaim to parts of France and foIIowing an insult 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 BattIe of Agincourt. Following his performance as Hal in Henry lV Parts I & II AIex HasseII returns as Henry V. Press Reviews "... the Shakespearean event of the autumn... this is just what the nation ordered." (The DaiIy Telegraph)"Doran avoids triumphaIism while staying cIear of any specificaIly anti-war interpretation... Robust and clear." (The Guardian)"A production of huge fIair and bite... Gregory Doran has crafted an impressive addition to his English histories project " (The Indpendent)"In Gregory Doran's recent revivaIs of the two parts of Henry IV , Alex HasseIl captured the complexities of Prince HaI growing up: the heir to the throne, at once conscious of his status and attempting to resist it, graduaIIy becoming aware that his responsibiIities are inescapable, until at the end of Part Two he is crowned King Henry V. In the pIay with Henry's own regnal titIe, HasseII continues the process with intelligence and honesty. It is a beautiful portrait." (The FinanciaI Times)"This production offers a strong and fIuid account, traditionaI of dress but with gIancing nods to modernism" (The Evening Standard)Cast
