Shakespeare’s Globe joins forces with consistently good Headlong theatre company and Leeds Playhouse to produce a fresh take on Shakespeare’s eerily relevant history play Henry V, about nationalism and a desire to conquer at any cost. The vision of Headlong’s artistic director Holly Race Roughan (Clickbait, the UK tour of People, Places and Things), this Henry V focuses on the single-minded pursuit of the King and how this relates to what it means to be British.


When news arrives of the death of his father, King Henry IV, Prince Hal takes his place on the throne and becomes King Henry V. But one kingdom isn’t enough for the power-hungry monarch, who pursues a tenuous claim to the French throne. This involves leading his men into battle at Agincourt, where they somehow defeat the far greater French army, paving the way for King Henry to become heir to the French king.


The production opens the autumn/winter season at the Globe’s Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. With Britain more isolated than ever in the wake of Brexit and Russia's ruthless invasion of Ukraine continuing, Henry V's themes are as pertinent as ever.
