Henry V

by William Shakespeare / Directed by Matt Sciple / November 5–20, 2016
We few. We happy few.

Short­ly after he becomes King Hen­ry V, for­mer play­boy prince Hal decides to prove his seri­ous­ness and increase his pop­u­lar­i­ty with con­quests abroad. Shakespeare’s superb his­to­ry play brings polit­i­cal intrigue and the thrill of bat­tle to the stage. This time­less sto­ry, retold dur­ing an elec­tion year, reflects even more potent­ly on today’s glob­al stage.

Performing At:

The Crane Theater
2303 Kennedy St. NE #120
Min­neapo­lis, MN 55413
