The cast for the Old Red Lion Theatre's Rep Season of Henry V and The Revenger's Tragedy is as follows: Mark Field, Steve Fortune, Nicholas Kime, Jack Morris, Christine Oram and Henry Regan.
A newly appointed leader guided by religious conviction. A threat to peace. A questionable case for war.
Does nothing ever change?
This production is a critical response to, and examination of the second Iraq war, following the recent Iraq Inquiry - set in a world of the 24-hour news cycle, political spin, prisoner abuse and UN Resolutions.
In this Jubilee and Olympic year, join us for a radical new production of one of Shakespeare's most celebrated plays - a play synonymous with English patriotism. But at what cost?
Directed by Henry Filloux-Bennett.
Part of the Old Red Lion Theatre Rep Season.
