★★★☆☆ - Contrarious
Henry V from Massachusetts-based Ghost Light Players is a dynamic, physical, ensemble-centred production of Shakespeare’s sprawling history that aims to impress upon its audience the “bloody cost of war”.
This adaptation blends a ruthlessly-cut script with devised movement, stylised combat, modern music, and chorus of twelve performers, of whom five play the titular monarch in turn.
