Henry the Fifth

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Sam D. White

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”

The young and wild Prince Hal is now King in his own right. At home, he is widely revered for rallying overmatched English forces to monumental victory. On the international stage, he is deeply reviled for his ambition and aggression. This fast-paced modern production shows the man and the king, whose short reign set England on the path to decades of chaos and infighting.

Produced by Madison Shakespeare Company at Bartell Theatre's Evjue Stage, 113 E. Mifflin St., Madison
