Island Stage Left Presents HENRY V In Wold, 7/16-25

Island Stage Left continues their tour of the "Shakespeare Under the Stars" series with HENRY V, opening in Wold (1062 Wold Rd) on Friday, July 16th. The production already performed in Orcas, Waldron, Shaw, and Lopez and after closing at Wold on July 25th, will continued to Roche from July 29th to August 22nd. Admission is free but donations are welcomed. Performances in Wold run Fridays through Sundays at 8:15 PM. It is suggested to dress warmly and bring a blanket.

Packed with action and humor, political intrigue, romance and some of the most moving speeches ever written, HENRY V offers something for everyone. This is Shakespeare at his most exciting. A young charismatic leader with a gift for rousing oratory; a country justifying a foreign war; treacherous politicians, a dubious clergy and a French princess - ancient and contemporary themes underlie Shakespeare's rousing and inflammatory play about leadership - a thrilling and thought-provoking summer with "Shakespeare Under the Stars".

Stage Left is a non-profit theatre company founded by Daniel Mayes and Helen Machin-Smith to provide free professional quality theatre to the residents of the San Juan Islands and to its visitors. Each summer in July and August, Stage Left, in a stunning outdoor setting, presents another production in its continuing series "Shakespeare under the Stars". In the fall, winter and spring the company produces a wide range of plays both old and new written by playwrights at the top of their profession. We continually strive to attain an artistic vision that illuminates and questions the human condition. Funding is entirely from voluntary contributions. Production design elements are kept deliberately simple and the concentration is on acting and interpretation. In this way the company is able to focus on the art rather than the administration, and on serving the island community of which it is a part.
