A raw and riveting new adaptation of Shakespeare's politically charged, battle-filled history saga. Uses mock media footage, from Fox News to reality TV, this modern minimalist production exposes how television shapes our perceptions of war and heroism.
This just in: The fight for the French throne rages on as a young and underestimated English king rises to iconic status amidst threats to national security and a military assault designed to divert attention from issues at home. Six actors portray over 20 different characters, on stage & screen, transporting the play's scenes from the royal court to a series of backroom negotiations and private deals. Into the Hazard[Henry 5] propels the Bard's 1599 epic into the media-obsessed world of 2009.
