The Porters of Hellsgate take on Shakespeare's most famous play about war upon their unworthy scaffold: The Whitmore Theatre. Embracing The Chorus' initial warning as to the inadequacies of his company's resources to 'bring forth so great an object', this Henry V will be brought forward with the grittiness and edge The Porters have become known for. Within this 'wooden O' both cast and audience will be taken in to the unapologetically theatrical journey of King Henry's invasion and conquest of France.
If 'all the youth of England are on fire,' as the first speech of HENRY V's Act II declares, then all the Porters of Hellsgate have carried the torch forward with guns blazing. Without a doubt, this is the Porters' finest stage work to date and a testament to the kind of theatre magic that can be created out of thin air by the willing and able.
