Antic Disposition’s production of Henry V returns to embark on a tour of eight of the UK’s most historic and beautiful cathedrals.
Moving effortlessly between 1415 and 1915, Antic Disposition’s Henry V combines Shakespeare’s epic history play with original songs and live music inspired by the poetry of A E Housman, in a powerful tribute to the young soldiers caught up in conflicts five centuries apart.
Performed by a talented international cast of British and French actors, the production celebrates the rich and often turbulent relationship between our two nations, from the Hundred Years War to the Entente Cordiale.
Henry V will visit eight of the UK’s most spectacular cathedrals, including Ripon, Lincoln, Peterborough, Ely and Norwich, as well as Beverley and Southwell Minsters. The tour will begin and end with four special performances in the beautiful Southwark Cathedral on Bankside in the heart of Shakespeare’s London.
Directors Ben Horslen and John Risebero comment: Henry V is a project close to our hearts. In this First World War centenary year, we’re delighted to be sharing the production, and the company’s work, with new audiences in the north and east of England, and honoured to be performing in some of the most remarkable medieval buildings in the country.
