Henry V Man and Monarch

The legend of England's warrior king comes alive again with a bold adaptation by Director of York International Shakespeare Festival

Who is he? Who and what is Henry V?

A one-man show directed by Philip Parr, Director of the York International Shakespeare Festival, Henry V Man and Monarch dives deep into the epic historical background of Shakespeare's original version to explore the different facets of Henry V at several critical junctures of his life. Complementing the show's exceptional storytelling is Australian actor Brett Brown's outstanding performance, which brings the character's emotional conflicts and dilemmas into forefront.

Having toured to several Shakespeare festivals in seven countries across Europe, the production will make its exciting debut in Hong Kong at the city's first international Shakespeare festival!
