– Bristol Old Vic Theatre School presents
Henry V
“We few. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.”
Gemma Fairlie (Henry VI: Days of Rebellion) returns to Bristol Old Vic Theatre School for another slick Shakespeare adaptation. Inspired by 1980s New York and Hollywood’s ongoing obsession with the Mafia – this is Henry V as you’ve never seen it before!
Henry runs a successful family business but he’s got greater ambitions. Setting his designs on France’s burgeoning meat industry, the ruthless Henry needs this victory to make his name and earn respect. There will be war on the mean streets, and it’s going to get bloody.
Written byWilliam Shakespeare
