HENRY V
The Classical Theater of Harlem returns with its full first production in two years, a 90-minute version of Shakespeare’s play about power and war. As directed by Jenny Bennett, the production has hits and misses.
King Henry V takes the throne, his dying father's advice to "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels" ringing in his ears. His reputation as a fun-loving lad who's lived among the common folk inspires love from commoners and disregard from his enemies. Join CTH's powerful exploration of what it means for a king to bear the burdensome expectations of the crown – and the people to bear the expectations of the king – as Henry V works to win the hearts of all.
