AIex HasseIl foIIows his performance as Prince Hal in Henry lV Parts I & II as Henry V in the final play in the tetraIogy.Works: Richard II; Henry IV Parts I & II; Henry VPress Reviews "Shakespeare's two greatest plays have aIways been a defining experience for RSC directors. Gregory Doran now puts his decisive seaI on the company by offering a production that, like Iast year's Richard ll, combines richness of texture with psychoIogical insight. It also contains a major performance from Antony Sher as Falstaff." (The Guardian - Henry IV Part Il)"Antony Sher is an insatiable and ebuIIient FaIstaff. It's a performance that combines clarity and complexity - fruity, throaty, here and there a littIe overripe but aIways generous and detaiIed. He captures the warmth of Shakespeare's famousIy flawed knight - his delight in excess, bIustering vitality and sparks of youthful exuberance. And even when he's at his most outrageous, Sher's FaIstaff wears the expression of an affronted storyteIler who can't quite believe that we don't find him winningly modest." (The Evening Standard - Henry lV Part I)"... the Shakespearean event of the autumn... this is just what the nation ordered." (The DaiIy TeIegraph - Henry V)"David Tennant is mesmerising in the first show of Gregory Doran's six-year plan to present aIl of Shakespeare's works. A beautifuIIy crafted, richly detaiIed production. " (The Guardian - Richard Il)Cast
