Henry V Man and Monarch

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A man with a paper crown recites Henry V’s legendary speech in a room, while toying with a paper solider – is he the honoured English warrior king on the eve of the battle of Agincourt, or just a madman imposing as the monarch?

A one-man show directed by Philip Parr, Director of the York International Shakespeare Festival, Henry V Man and Monarch dives deep into the epic historical background of Shakespeare’s original version to explore the different facets of Henry V at several critical junctures of his life. Complementing the show’s exceptional storytelling is Australian actor Brett Brown’s outstanding performance, which brings the character’s emotional conflicts and dilemmas into forefront.

Having toured to several Shakespeare festivals in seven countries across Europe, the production will make its exciting debut in Hong Kong at the city’s first-ever International Shakespeare Festival!
