Propeller (UK)
Rediscover Shakespeare through the physical style and engrossing interpretations of renowned all-male theatre company Propeller.
Directed by Edward Hall (son of theatre royalty Sir Peter Hall), Propeller combines unwavering devotion to the original beauty of Shakespeare’s text with inventive staging that adds clarity and appeal for today’s audience.
For the Festival, Propeller presents two very different, yet equally enthralling works: Henry V and The Winter's Tale.
Full of famously rousing speeches, Henry V is the tale of the greatest warrior in English folklore. Chronicling Henry’s transformation from irresponsible youth to inspirational leader, we follow his journey from the corridors of Westminster to the battlefields of France. There, outnumbered by the enemy five to one, the young king must rally his ‘band of brothers’ for battle upon battle in a war of dubious justification.
Set in a time when British nationalism is at its most dangerous and exciting, Propeller presents this original take on one of Shakespeare’s powerhouse history plays.
Save 15% when you buy an A or B ticket for both Henry V and The Winter’s Tale.
