Leading man Kit Harington is "resoundly good' (The Times) in this impressive production of Henry V that was made to be seen on the big screen. With simple but grand sets, it is an exciting, modern take on Shakespeare's thrilling work about war that "bends with the times" (Metro.) Fresh to the throne, King Henry V launches England into a bloody war with France. When his campaign encounters resistance, this inexperienced new ruler must prove he is fit to guide a country into war. Watch Harington in this exhilarating study of nationalism, war and the psychology of power. Time Out wrote, "Henry V is usually treated as an entertaining, mid-tier play that serves as a comment on the nature of war. But Webster's is the first production I've ever seen to approach it as a great character study, up there with 'Hamlet' or 'Richard III' or indeed Falstaff in 'Henry IV'."
