Harry The King – July 4 to August 2, Shakespeare in the Park

Shakespeare-in-the-Park:

Harry the King – The Famous Victories of Henry V

The adventurous tale of a rebellious prince who grows up to become one of England’s most revered kings. Adapted from William Shakespeare’s historical plays Henry IV pt. 1, pt. 2 and Henry V, this story follows Prince Henry, who seems to be doing everything a young prince shouldn’t. But when he’s called upon to become king and ‘pay the debt he never promised,’ he rises to the occasion, uniting a country and inspiring a nation.

Our adaptation is set in the pub that Harry (otherwise known as Henry Monmouth, Hal, The Prince of Wales and later King Henry V) hangs out in with Falstaff and his friends. When Harry threatens to leave the pub, the bar patrons, entice him to stay by putting on a play about the possible future of the young prince.

This is a play about leadership and honour; about fathers and sons; about love and laughter; and about fighting for what you believe in, despite impossible odds.
