HENRY V
BY William Shakespeare
Directed & adapted by Natalie Simone
“★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An all female and non-binary company play fast, but not loose, with Shakespeare’s text. Their storytelling is vibrant, exciting and, like Henry himself, shows what you can do with a great company full of talent and resolve.”
“★ ★ ★ ★ Nat Simone’s work shines brightest in the elemental, those moments when her production leans into the mystical and when they arrive, they captivate. ”
“Each moment of the play felt choreographed with care allowing even the densest Shakespearean language to feel fresh and alive. ”
“Nat Simone ensures that almost every inch of the grounds of the historic church is utilised, with dozens of coloured tennis balls taking on a highly symbolic meaning. This is just one of the many moments that make Henry V truly memorable.”
