William Shakespeare’s Henry V

Henry V

by William Shakespeare

April 9 – 19, 2026
 

History and drama collide in this beautifully penned work that explores the rise of a brazen and intrepid young king as he leads his ragtag army to claim the French crown. Honor, duty, and the burdens of kingship are brought to the forefront in many of Henry’s inspiring appeals and in William Shakespeare’s rich and vivid portrayal of the Battle of Agincourt. One of Shakespeare’s most famous history plays, unmatched in capturing the essence of heroism and the complexities of war, Henry V is as much an unforgettable and timeless story of transformation and triumph as a cautious reminder of the costs of reckless ambition.
 

 “A coruscating production about the desperate grasp for power, and how it does no man or country any good.” — The Guardian

 

 

“The play is the prototype for Hollywood epics about heroic leaders who do not shirk the bloody risks of battle themselves.” — The Chicago Tribune
