Description:
A single actor takes the field in this electrifying retelling of Shakespeare’s Henry V, embodying kings, comrades and enemies alike. With nothing but language, imagination and sheer force of performance, the epic story of power, war and responsibility is distilled to its beating heart. Thrones rise and fall, battles roar and doubts whisper in the shadows as one man channels the voices of an entire world. Intimate yet monumental, Ben Mills-Wood’s interpretation of Henry V strips away spectacle to reveal the cost of leadership, the thrill of rhetoric and the fragile humanity behind a legendary king.
