Primary Shakespeare – Henry V

Primary Shakespeare is performed by professional actors to an audience of children who have attended a series of Shakespeare workshops at school. The adapted version is a great opportunity for the children’s first experience of a performance of a Shakespeare play. The public performance of the production is a special chance for adults and children alike to enjoy Shakespeare.

A young king, with all to play for. Will it be game, set and match? Prince Hal must take on new responsibilities. His country is deeply divided, and he must grow up and learn what it takes to be a good leader. His enemies only want to play games and throw insults. Can he get everyone working together, and win through? Shakespeare’s playful exploration of leadership and responsibility imaginatively brought to life for a younger audience.
