Alfred Enoch News

Henry V of England is one of those big roles for an actor. Alfie Enoch follows in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier and Tom Hiddleston as the king who led a battalion of tired and outnumbered soldiers to victory. Excellent performances may save it, but co-artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Tamara Harvey’s take on this history play is unfortunately bland and unfocused. It’s something we’ve seen too many times before.

Recently, we had the chance to speak with Alfred Enoch about taking on the titular role of Shakespeare's Henry V. We discussed how he has been connected with the Bard of Avon since his theatrical beginnings, what it is like to be a part of the legacy of the Royal Shakespeare Company and even his own hypothesis on what makes Shakespeare such a legendary writer!

The production runs at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, from March 14 through April 25, 2026, with press night set for March 24 at 7:00 p.m.

Critics have stopped by The Critic, the dark and sharp-witted new thriller starring stage and screen icon, Ian McKellen. Read the reviews!

The Irish writer Brendan Behan described critics as “eunuchs in a harem; they know how it’s done, they’ve seen it done every day, but they’re unable to do it themselves”. Quite a damning characterisation. Anand Tucker introduces an ageing critic, Jimmy Erskine, whose name and ruthlessness are the stuff of legends. When a struggling actress becomes entangled in his web, Erskine drags both of them down a dangerous path. Loosely based on Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call but featuring a different premise, The Critic is a solid, witty black comedy before seamlessly shifting into a chic crime drama.

'‘Tis time to fear when tyrants seems to kiss.” It’s true that most of Shakespeare’s most well-known works remain perpetually relevant, particularly in the difficult times that continue to afflict populations worldwide, but sometimes it’s worth shuffling the pack and pulling out a lesser played work. The thing with geniuses like Shakespeare is that their less popular output is often just as good as the stuff that everyone’s heard of. Enter Tamara Harvey and her production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre.
