‘This story shall the good man teach his son…’

From a rebellious, carefree young man to the King of England. Overnight. And now this new king has an eye on the throne of France. 

A reckless insult from the French Dauphin offers the perfect excuse for Henry V to declare war. But there’s a human price to pay for his pursuit of power and thousands could die at Agincourt. Henry must unite his country, defeat the French, and prove himself worthy of the crown of England. Does he have what it takes?

Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey directed Alfred Enoch as Shakespeare’s Henry V, following on from their acclaimed collaboration on Pericles in 2024.
