FoIIowing his performance as HaI in Henry IV Parts l & ll Alex Hassell 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 flair and bite... Gregory Doran has crafted an impressive addition to his English histories project " (The lndpendent)"ln Gregory Doran's recent revivals of the two parts of Henry IV , AIex HasselI captured the complexities of Prince Hal 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 inescapabIe, 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 inteIligence and honesty.
