THE ESSENTIAL PLAY

Once more unto the… most quotable Shakespeare plays, dear friends. Ol’ Henry V is back in the theatre and it’s as relevant as ever. Royal Harries leaving England to fall in love abroad? England looking lonely in Europe but (and this is where the play goes from thriller to fantasy) still top dog? How familiar. Really, the bard caters to all tastes with this one.
