"...a thoughtfully directed "Henry V," performed by six talented actors"

Into the Hazard [Henry 5] is a raw and riveting new adaptation of Shakespeare's politically charged, battle-filled history saga. Peppered with mock media footage, from Fox News to reality TV, this modern minimalist production exposes how television shapes our perceptions of war and heroism.
This just in: The fight for the French throne rages on as a young and underestimated English king rises to iconic status amidst threats to national security and a military assault designed to divert attention from issues at home. Six actors portray over 20 different characters, on stage and screen, transporting the play’s scenes from the royal court to a series of backroom negotiations and private deals. Into the Hazard [Henry 5] propels the Bard's 1599 epic into the media-obsessed world of 2009. |
