William Shakespare's Henry V

Henry IV is dead. His son—once the callow prankster, “Hal”—now reigns in solemn grace as Henry V. Despite his father’s dubious claim to the throne and the stain of his own misspent youth, Henry has reinvented himself completely: a king in both name and nature. When new intrigue and old provocations kindle his ambition into all-out war, Henry ruthlessly manipulates, persuades, and conquers enemies and allies alike, igniting loyalty with incandescent words. But when the clamor stills and the fire dies, the ashes tell a different story. And in these brief, flickering moments, Henry alone must decide how to bear the uneasy burden of the crown. In Henry V, Shakespeare explores eternal questions of identity, authority, history, and privilege, and asks how far a good man will go to be remembered as a good king.This modern, virtual re-imagining of the classic play will be performed live each night and streamed online for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
