“Once more unto the breach dear friends”


In what is regarded by many as Shakespeare’s greatest history play, in Henry V we witness the final chapter in Prince Hal’s journey to manhood, as he assumes the English crown to lead its army against the French during the Hundred Years War.  Shakespeare draws his prototypical leader in King Henry imbuing him with courage, insight, compassion and charm.  J.R. Sullivan makes his Shakespeare Project directing debut.  Cast includes Will Allan, Kayla Carter, Matthew Fahey, Peter Garino, Susan Gosdick, Chris Landis, Matt Mueller, Henry Michael Odum, Corliss Preston, Stephen Spencer, Fredric Stone, Daniel Patrick Sullivan and Mark Ulrich.  Music and sound design by George Zahora. 


An introduction to the play will precede each performance (15 minutes prior to curtain).
