Directed by Edward Hall, William Shakespeare’s Henry V tells the tale of the greatest British warrior in English folklore. In a time when nationalism is at its most dangerous and exciting and increasing numbers of British servicemen and women are seeing active service, Propeller brings its own unique take on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.
Thrilling and deeply moving, Henry V marks the beginning of a journey that takes us from the corridors of Westminster to the fields of France in an evening of unforgettable power.

“…it is an absolute theatrical masterpiece.” *****
— Paul Lucas-Scott, What’s On Stage
“The air buzzes with a testosterone far more persuasive than mere actorly swagger.” ****
— Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“Played like a cross between Band Of Brothers (whose title was taken from this play) and an Iraq War movie, Henry V has the visceral impact of Mad Max.” *****
