Henry V, King of England 1413-22, conquered much of France, and was made heir apparent to French throne, although he died before inheriting that throne. Henry's son, Henry VI, an infant when he became King of England, lost all the advantage his father had won in France, and although successive generations of English monarchs periodically laid claim to the French throne again, they never succeeded in winning it. Henry's reign has thus represented, in the imaginations of Englishmen of a jingoistic nature, a high point in England's relationship with Europe. Shakespeare's presentation of Henry is at best ambiguously heroic, but, as always with Shakespeare, it ain't just the script, it's the way that you play it.

In late November and early December 2018, we performed our multilingual version of Shakespeare's Henry V at Centre Fries, Fri-Art and the Gutenberg Museum. We were lucky enough to play to three full houses and actually had to haul in more chairs (or, in one case, tables) in order to fit all our audience members. A warm thank you to everyone who came along!! Here are some pictures of the different dress rehearsals and performances...
