Take an exciting look at Henry V on stage with our new scene clip. Directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey and with Alfred Enoch in the title role, watch the video now!

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.

Royal Shakespeare Company has released rehearsal photos for its forthcoming production of Henry V, directed by Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey. 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.

Full casting has been announced for the RSC's forthcoming production of Henry V, Shakespeare's great history play, directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director, Tamara Harvey.

'I’ve seen it before, and I’ll see it again… Just little bits of history repeating.” This Shirley Bassey vocal may not feature on the soundtrack of this stage version of The Buddha of Suburbia, but you can’t help but bring it to mind as you watch events unfold: strikes, political turmoil, far right aggression - staples of the 1970s, but all too familiar to modern audiences.

The RSC and Wise Children have announced full casting for Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia. Adapted for the stage by Wise Children’s Artistic Director Emma Rice, with Kureishi, this critically acclaimed co-production runs at the Barbican in London from 22 October – 16 November, with an opening night on Tuesday 29 October.

It’s a beautiful thing for the theatre community to be able to be together and connect again. And connecting, in a human sense, is the key theme of Emma Rice’s production of Bagdad Cafe.

It's hard to believe that it's been four years since Emma Rice made her debut at Shakespeare's Globe, beginning her brief tenure as artistic director with the Wonders season and her own production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. As a Shakespeare fan (I was one of those rare beings: someone who actually enjoyed studying his plays at school), I'd been meaning to go to the Globe for some time but had never quite got round to it a?' and I'd never seen anything by Emma Rice before. How times change.
